JP over at Milblogging.com just posted a great piece on their site about Military scammers better beware, California‘s Online Impersonation Law takes effect today (makes impersonation a crime)
This is a problem that has plagued a few folks online and one of my MilBlog buddies as well when some scammers set his name up in a dating database looking for love and money. One thing you can do to combat this, is set up a Google Alert on your name so that it will send you a message when your name pops up online somewhere (think of it as cheap insurance fraud alert). This is how CJ Grisham was able to head off a potentially aggravating situation a few months ago. I’m going to write to my Congressman in DC to see if this type thing could go national and I encourage you all to do the same. Even if some dipsh** Federal Judge in CO says that it’s your right to lie and claim you a Vet and Hero, maybe this can backdoor the system to allow the Justice Dept to go after these scammer’s and posers.
Just a thought as we bring in this New Year!!
