Unfortunately there are thousands of fake profiles impersonating me all over social media. It seems this one in particular pulled one over on META and somehow got
"verified" I DON'T have a Facebook page or profile.
If you do, please make sure to report this one as fake until META corrects their mistake and takes it down.
It is a constant source of pain and heartbreak for me that these scammers use my face and name in the pursuit of lying to people and hurting them. Please stay safe and be careful. #stolenaccount#thanerivers#fyplemon8#fyp#fypシ゚viral 👍Pros :

... Read moreIt's truly heartbreaking to see how much pain fake accounts cause, not just for me, but for anyone who falls victim to their schemes. I know many of you might be curious about my life, perhaps even wondering about who I share it with – a 'Thane Rivers woman,' as some searches suggest. It's a natural human curiosity to want to know more about people you admire or follow online. However, this very natural interest is often twisted and exploited by scammers.
These malicious individuals create elaborate fake profiles, sometimes even managing to acquire a 'blue verified checkmark,' despite being completely fraudulent. They use stolen images, like the one of a muscular, bearded man you might see associated with these fake personas, to build a convincing facade. They meticulously fill out 'Posts,' 'About,' 'Reels,' and 'Photos' sections, making their profiles look legitimate. You might even see them boasting '7.4K followers' to appear more credible, even though the entire profile is 'FAKE' as depicted.
Their goal? To build trust, often by pretending to be me, and then to exploit that trust. They might try to engage with fans on a personal level, sometimes even hinting at romantic intentions or seeking 'connections' to draw people in. This is where the 'Thane Rivers woman' search query becomes particularly relevant – scammers often play on people's desire for a personal connection with a public figure. They might message you directly, express interest, and slowly build a fake relationship, eventually leading to requests for money, gifts, or sensitive personal information.
I've heard countless stories of people losing their savings, their dignity, and their trust because of these romance scams and identity thefts. It's not just about impersonating me; it's about financially and emotionally devastating innocent people. That's why my warning about these fake accounts, especially those with a 'FAKE' label prominently displayed on their stolen profile, is so crucial.
So, how can you protect yourself and others?
Be Skeptical: If an account claiming to be me (or any public figure) messages you unexpectedly, especially asking for money, private details, or to move to another platform, it's a huge red flag.
Verify Sources: Always cross-reference information. Check official channels, my real Lemon8 account, or verified social media pages (the real ones, not the fake 'verified' ones) for confirmation.
Look for Inconsistencies: Scammers often make mistakes. Check their grammar, unusual phrasing, or inconsistent stories. A genuine profile, especially one with a significant following like '7.4K followers' should have consistent, high-quality content.
Guard Your Information: Never share personal or financial details with anyone you only know online, no matter how convincing they seem.
Report, Report, Report: If you encounter a suspicious profile, like the fraudulent ones trying to use my identity, report it to the platform immediately. Your reports help get these harmful accounts taken down.
Let's work together to create a safer online space. My heart goes out to anyone who has been affected by these scams. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and always trust your gut. Your safety online is paramount.
Too bad we can't find the REAL Thane. 🥺
