I have just read on another forum that somebody has set up a Hotmail account in the name of a high-profile UK bushcrafter and is sending abusive emails and postings to various forums. Hopefully not this one, as it is so well-moderated!
The bushcrafter in question has contacted the Police and the Metropolitan Police Computer Crime unit and as far as I know has passed on the IP Address of the abuser. If the person masquerading as somebody else ever tries to access websites or send unsuitable or illegal material they will get a visit and will be prosecuted.
I hope that nobody on this forum ever condones such abuse of another's identity and that they would report this to the Moderators or to the Police. I also hope that anyone who does this and is caught is banned from BCUK.
