Myspace help please

[kbrand4]

My girlfriend has had someone create a myspace account in her name. What does myspace do when something like this happens. I was told that myspace can get the ip address and then tell the location of the person that did this. Is this something that can really be done? What can be done with the ip address?

Well, there is a little bit you can do with someone's IP address. Look it up on the web and find out were it came from. Contact Myspace and have the person that found their name and or photo on myspace talk to them. If it is something that is malicious then, depending on the severity you might be able to take the individual that posted the blog to court for defamation of character.

Have they created a site in her name?
With photos of her and her personal details on it?
Or do they just have the same name as her?

you can tell the people on myspace to report as bogus. that way it will ge deleted frm other.

myspace is not going to tell you the ip of that person and there is not much you can do with the IP.

I don't wish to sound sarcastic - actually, I take that back, I do wish to sound sarcastic.
As helpful as this place is, why have you not first contacted myspace? We're really not equipped to deal with technical issues on other's sites.
If it had happened here, fine, and I'm sure Dave would bend over backwards to help you, as I would if you reported such an error on my site, and as I'm sure "Tom" will if you contact him. He did for me.
I do try and help where I can, stay out where I can't, but give me break - there are more and more posts on here which are basically saying "I've done nothing to try and fix this, can you do it for me so I can never come back and help someone else"
On top of that, you couldn't even be bothered to start your own thread.

Ah - I see your point.
My tip for the future is if in doubt, try "webmaster@{problem.site}"
