This might have the potential to be internet gold...

So I joined Twitter a couple of weeks back to see what it was all about and soon after I joined I had a new follower. I take a quick look at the photo of this random person and see that it's an extremely hot girl (magazine cover material). Now I know I have looks that make Brad Pitt seem to blend into the shadows, but lets just say I'm not fighting off the bikini models (lynx or not).

So my bullst klaxon has already started to warm up, but I give the girl a chance; after all hot girls have to talk to someone don't they...?

So when I had a minute today I thought I'd check to see if my suspicions were at all valid. I was gobsmacked once again by how easy it is to find out information on people on the 'net. A quick Google of her Twitter username revealed her real name (that she has now removed from Twitter) and a quick Google of that revealed her Facebook profile. Lets just say the photos don't match. At all. 10 seconds spent flicking through her list of friends reveals someone else's profile photo that looks mightily like her Twitter photos.

Lo and behold I have found the real person in the photos and she is a bikini model. Loads of the photos from Facebook have been thieved and used by this imposter on Twitter.

So I think it's only fair to send a message to the real model on Facebook and tell her something strange appears to be going on. She replies back asking me for links and generally sounds quite annoyed that someone was using her photos. She's going to investigate and see if she can get the account removed. But this sounds far too boring so I've asked her if she's up for a laugh and some form of public shaming of the imposter... I'm still waiting for a reply.

I would give you lot links to them both but I'm worried that someone will spoil the joke by contacting them.

I need ideas on the best way of tricking this imposter into making a complete tit of herself (not that she hasn't already!). Both ideas I/we can do on our own, or even better with the help of the real model if I can convince her! What do you reckon? heherofl

The Twitter user name appears to be quite unique and comes up on a few different results on Google where she uses the same name on different sites, most of which have profile photos of the same person (the imposters real photos). And, er, she looks like a woman.

Either way, I know the photos aren't real and I know who it really is so the opportunity for piss taking is still there.

I reckon this is a good illustration of why I don't bother with either facebook or twitter.

So is the imposter someone you know in real life or just a random?

+1.
Why not just leave it? Surely you have better things to do with your time.

Just a random, but she lets anyone on Facebook see her list of friends.
