I was mailing someone who is 'apparently' located in India and another in Australia. Yesterday, the 'Australian' slipped up with his name and I realised it was one and the same person. I confronted him and he pulled the profile that gives his location as Australia.
Has anyone come across folks on CS that have multiple profiles? What are your thoughts on the same?
No Karma, I haven't but it seems like a lot of work! I think anyone who does that has something to hide and luckily you found out quickly. Good luck and take care!

Yes i have come across this quite freqently as im a regular user of the chat room, they just dont seem very clever as they usually use extended versions of the username or similar as i guess they seem to forget. Report them ASAP as its hard enough to find truth and good people, get rid of the crap of this site!

Time and time again we have had multiple profiles turning up in the forums.
I'm sure I posted to a thread the other day where the OP was not who they claimed, but merely pretending to be someone else to stir up trouble.
There is a regular poster in the forums who has had conversations with themselves and I doubt I would be belived by many if I named them.
It is a sad state of affairs indeed, which is why if you are set on a relationship with someone on line I think you should have a webcam.

hi karma i haven't i am just glad you caught on to this guy
It is a very common thing to find individuals who for many different reasons create multiple profiles on almost any web forums. Some do it to stimulate the forums and make them appear busier then they are, some do it to joke with people, and yet others do it for strange reasons or vicious ones etc.
There have been many I have seen here already and a couple others I suspect of it. It is just the nature of "faceless" freedom that some folks have and take full advantage of in order to do things they would never consider doing otherwise etc. In other words it just happens.
All honest folks can do is simply accept that there are people out there that do such things and to just pay attention to their own feelings on things. If you suspect a profile of being a duplicate you could ask them directly or report it saying your suspcsion and asking the moderators to check IP addresses of the two or more profiles you suspect. Doesn't mean they will but if they do and they find out it is a duplicate they can then deal with it and help to keep the site free from such nonsense though it will never be completely free of it.
