No problem dan6er0us (i hope I did that right).
I wanted to update all of you on a situation regarding trolls/posers/megan fakes, and to clear up some rumors and things.
You'll notice the user justin_tyme has been banned from the forum. This person is actually a girl (I've been told she is only 15 years old), one who has a very long history of pretending to be Megan online.
This girl gives out her telephone number to different guys and strings them along for months pretending she's Megan.
She registered the domain meganewing-model.com under Megan Ewing's name and used stolen images on her splash (the site isn't up yet). We all know what a pain in the ass it is for taking the time to scan and clean something only to have someone take it and call it their own. The Veronique Droulez picture that I posted is on there, and you'll notice justin_tyme was begging for a larger version. You'll also notice one of my black and white scans from the Guess? section is on there.
And I notice that someone conveniently asked about that one too after it was posted.
If you look at "justin's" post regarding his friend "chad" who supposedly partied with Megan in South Africa (how convenient is it that she mentions the only country Megan ever talked about on film?). Only way she could have been more obvious was saying White Sands, NM or something!
Megan saw this claim and ensured me that she'd never in her life seen any of the guys in that picture, not surprising in the least.
I smelt something fishy from the very beginning. Right when the webcam pics of Megan came out, I had justin begging me for them UNTAGGED. I of course refused. She then went behind my back and contacted FunnyFan, asking him to convince me for the pictures. FF let me know immediately and I told him to tell her no. Justin supposedly wanted them for an "art" project. Uh huh, how naive do you think I am? <_<
And of course I recognized the user name from an email address that had written me regarding Megan. These are the different emails that I personally know of that this person has.
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected] (this is the email that meganewing-model.com is registered with)
This is the same person with this Yahoo! profile.
Either this person is really stupid, because this is really sloppy work, or they're doing this and wanting to get caught. Who knows, people are dumb creatures.
The FBI contacted the real Megan, letting her know that someone was giving out a phone number and setting up meetings with men and conning them out of money. I'm not joking when I say this, it's not my way of scaring off a little internet poser, it's the God's honest truth, you can ask Megan yourself.
I called the fake telephone number at Megan's request (Megan you are so deliciously evil!), and at first I pretended to be some person from the internet that somehow got the number. For about five minutes, I went along with the conversation, pretending to be "Crystal" an old friend from Brady. She told me she was living in California, she gave me her email address (
[email protected]), she gave me her My Space address (now set as private after our conversation! AND she's changed her age to 14), and she told me she was creating a site, www.meganewing-model.com because everything on ME.net wasn't true. Uh huh.
At that point I said "Okay look..." and told her who I was and that Megan wanted her to stop. I told her about the FBI, about Megan wanting to press charges, the whole shebang. I got a call later from her "brother" and supposedly she uses his phone without his knowledge and he calls the numbers that he sees on his phone. Who knows if that's true, but apparently she's only 15, her name really is Megan (so they say). Her name is supposedly really Megan Coho. After I told her to stop what she was doing, she then proceeded to say that she never pretended to be Megan Ewing even though in the first five minutes in the conversation she had.
I wrote her an email so she would have the request in writing, and Megan emailed her as well.
In one of her replies, after on the phone denying she ever said she was Megan, she wrote:
i cant be charged with anything .. because i haven't done anything illegal .. i said i was someone .. that's not against the law .. so that's not identity theft ..
So obviously now, she's admitting that she pretended to be Megan. She also said that I'm "jealous" that someone else is making a Megan site. Uh huh, yeah that must be it. Has nothing to do with your thievery or your trolling right?
She thinks that because she makes no money off of the site, that she's not in any legal trouble. And she pointed out my paypal button. #1. that was set up for donations, I have to pay a monthly fee to keep that site up, and I'm a college grad paying off bills -- I have never made money off of ME.net #2. No one's ever even donated FF has twice I believe paid for a month's service for me though, which I appreciate greatly, thank you FF. But I have never ever profited in any way shape or form from the site. I've lost money, not gained. If anyone saw my PayPal account and my web hosting receipts, this would be obvious.
i contacted ty also and asked him if
your even talking to megan so well see if your a liar also
Ty no longer represents Megan, he hasn't for quite some time, and he gave FF false information when he emailed him. She is not supposed to be on his site, and Megan is contacting him to get herself removed.
Awhile back, when she was originally put onto the wall of shame, I got a nice colorful email from one of those above email addresses. I'll spare your eyeballs, the grammar and spelling mistakes will probably blind you.
This girl has the potential to be in some hot water, and at this point, I hope Megan DOES decide to press charges because she has pissed the both of us off to the point of retaliation.
I won't be replying to any of her messages anymore, I don't have time to deal with someone a decade younger than I am. I've said all I needed to say and what Megan wanted me to say.
I think that this day and age is sad though. I'm glad I didn't have a computer in my youth. I was a normal kid who went outside and played with my friends and used our imaginations. Kids these days don't do much other than sit at their computers and then they get hair brained ideas and get themselves into trouble. They become camwhores and post pictures of themselves all over places like MySpace..I detest MySpace. I'm just really glad I grew up in the decade that I did. I would almost hate to be a kid right now! (not to say all teens are like this of course)
It might seem 'mean spirited' to post all of this, but I thought you all had a right to know the full story. And congrats if you actually read the whole thing!
At this point it's pretty silly to try and pretend to be Megan seeing as I communicate with her on a daily basis.
As for the future of ME.net, Megan is going to be sending me exclusive photos, both personal and from photoshoots. So prepare for that in the future and in 2006!
(Thanks Neo for all of your help, I did tell Megan you helped with pictures )
