Same user, multiple profiles, impersonating real people.

Hi there.

I use the chat site and noticed a repeating trend in a few profiles I've seen. They're all virtually identical, containing a couple of lines about the person followed by a link to a flickr account. I discussed it with a mod and he suggested reporting it here (it would be too arduous to report every single profile).

The descriptions vary a little, but they're all English women in their 20s, some in their early 30s. A lot of them are "sporty", some of them are "posh". The flickr accounts are all different (as far as I can see) and appear to be for real people.

I really do think that this is the same person, with dozens of Literotica accounts. The profiles are too similar for it to be a coincidence. It's rare for anyone to share copious numbers of personal photos on a sexchat site, let alone social media accounts with photos of family and friends. I'm genuinely concerned that someone is using the flickr accounts to effectively impersonate a real person whose photos are being disseminated without their consent, and giving the impression to users that they frequent a sexchat site. I think this is quite sinister.

Some of the accounts are identical (eg https://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=5237014&page=bio
and
https://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=4065951&page=bio )

Most of them aren't but are so similar that it's frankly obvious they're from the same individual. I used the advanced search for profiles of women with links to flickr and the following came up, a number of which I remember seeing and thinking the same about:

Literotica might not ultimately care about catfishing but I think on this scale it's quite unpleasant.

I run into this all the time on the General Board- there a handful of right-wing trolls (maybe three or four at the most) that have maybe ten or fifteen usernames between them. I've called them out more than once and they just get all defensive. I'm not sure what the solution is....
