So here’s a bit of a story.
My Facebook and Instagram are locked to the general public. Too much bullshit in accepting random internet “friends”. Every now and then I get these lame friend collector spammy type of “hot girl” follow requests with links to some site full of Russian malware. LOL They are pretty easy to spot.
Occasionally there are requestors with a bit more intent: The Sockpuppet. Someone who uses a fake social media fake to spy, stalk, harass and start shit generally. Some might say that is a paranoid way of looking at it but, trust me there are documented confirmed cases of photographers and models using sockpuppet accounts to get up to all kinds of shenanigans. I can, but won’t name, two Michigan based folks, a photographer and a model, who live by this like it’s a religion.
Anywhoo over the past couple of days I kept getting an Instagram follow request from a very, very pretty woman (TOP LEFT). It’s bullshit of course. But they kept coming back after being declined. Ironically as you can see their page is private. Ha.
I finally blocked the dude (yeah I said “dude”, come on, GUYS DO THIS SHIT THE MOST) and did some digging. I grabbed the image this asshole said he was. That’s the pic on the TOP RIGHT.
I ran the pic through a reverse image search engine and came up with a fuckton of hits (SECOND ROW LEFT). Apparently alot of people like this pic. A name kept coming up on the hits: “Zoe Suggs.”
Did a Google and there you have it.
Zoe “Zoella” Sugg….A popular YouTuber (SECOND ROW RIGHT)
who I’m (very) sure would never request to follow some obscure, weird, extremely odd sarcastic D-list photographer like myself on IG. Let’s be real about that. :-)

I would also think she has a more accurately named (less skeezy) Instagram account with more followers than a couple hundred naive saps.
(UPDATE: I don’t even think she has an Instagram account.)
Sockpuppet CONFIRMED.

I wouldn’t normally have gave a shit (or spent the 30 min I did) on this situation… but this person/dude/guy/bro, pretending to be someone else, thinking I would be so STUPID to believe in his shite, kept sending requests…the last one in less than an hour after I denied the previous request.
Really.
That shows intent. Kinda disturbing when you ponder it.
This is a cautionary tale folks. Take it as you will.
The Internet isn’t REAL.
-CN
I just thought of something.
The piece of shit fuckwit behind “selin_482311″ probably doesn’t know who Zoe Suggs is either. Heh…
Crazy times.
