    OMG your right. I have you already but when he came on i presumed it was you. How Weird.

    Have deleted him now.

    have also had another friend ask me who he was as had approached her to be a friend.

    so who is it ? he must know you and this forum to play the part.

    Report him to facebook. Its against facebooks terms and conditions to not use your real name and can get you banned (one example). Bad enough if its your own nickname but if you are actually impersonating somone else - almost guaranteed ban.

    The lady in question asked this Martin Gold if he was the Martin Gold from the forum and he told her yes. But she noted that he was down as single and sent me the email to check if i knew who he was.

    Thats gotta be wrong hasn't it.

    Martin, you may want to look into that further.

    personally i think it could well be his own name on facebook as i said in my post
    what he is doing is when a forum member asks is he me on here he says yes
    two female forumites have now told me this

    Re: Warning re facebook

    The fact that other people have tagged him in photos does point to him being a genuine person. Very odd...

    Miss Marples hat on...

    Martin Gold (the supposed imposter) has 8 friends in common with me! I have just asked one of them if she knows him personally and she replied, yes, she thinks she's danced with him.

    Apparently he has photos of himself, so he can't be pretending to be 'our' Martin Goldberger

    Maybe its just a coincidence and his real name really is Martin Gold, he's a dancer that, uses the forum, under another name?

    Its all very confusing
