Dear friends: Just the last few days, three fake Twitter accounts (and an Instagram account) were set up in my name, which have been taken down. Don't fall for the fake ones (usually with some small misspelling), which are often set up to ask for money, or trick you in some way.
The number of fake accounts using my name (or facsimiles) has been increasing in the last few weeks, and I would hate to have anyone taken advantage of, or tricked in any way. Just look for the little blue check mark next to my name on each account to make sure it's "authentic."
Fortunately, I use a service that searches the web to identify these accounts and then reports them to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. But be careful nonetheless!
