It has come under my attention that certain individual are creating Facebook profiles and pages under the name of famous players.
The profiles "friends" and Pages "likes" list is increasing by the day and the main purpose is to share youtube links - all to the account likely from the account creators. (I don't have evidence that it is the same person, but whats the odds of the same behaviour from all accounts?)
Now, if the account creator uses his own name (just like all our other video posters), I won't find anything wrong or dodgy.
But since, creating 1 fake account is not enough, now there is more and more and more (more avenues to direct traffic to the youtube account)
Please beware of such scams, as it doesn't seem just like sharing some videos for the TT community.
Something is fishy!
I won't name and shame yet, so I hope the person in question:
1) Closes all fake (identity fraud) account
2) Create his own account (can come up with his own name and call it that) and everything is done under this name.
3) Let table tennis community continue to enjoy table tennis videos, without using dodgy methods
For the others, you guys can decide if it is dodgy or not and take appropriate action from there.
