About
Are you concerned about people pretending to be you
online? You should!
It may seem harmless when people pretend to be someone they aren't.
However, it's a form of identity theft and ruins
reputations.
If you are in the public eye and have people who look up to you in
any way, you will want to be listed here on Officially
UNPlugged if you don't have an official website OR
get listed on OfficiallyPluggedIn.com
if you do have an official website.
People who pretend to be you are considered FAKERS or POSERS.
Friends and fans will think they are talking to you. Fakers may wish
to meet with your friends/fans, which can cause dangerous
situations. These people are robbing you of your
friends and fans along with the support they provide for
the hard work you have done.
In helping actor Sean
Patrick Flanery get established online with an Official site and
a MySpace page, we found the most effective way to prove he
was the "real deal" was to provide video.
Photos are not proof enough since they can be tweaked
and changed in a graphics program. Video showed who
he is without a doubt. Fans/friends wrote in saying
they were relieved to know they are talking to and supporting
the right person.
Many people in the public eye are establishing themselves online,
even including links to their MySpace or other social networks. However,
not everyone is online or cares to be. This is why "Officially
UNplugged" was started. This is the first site like it that displays
those who confirm they are real and not online and support
helping to stamp out fakers/posers.
Send a message
to find out how to be listed. If you get a website set up in the future,
you can be switched over to be listed on OfficiallyPluggedIn.com.
