Hi, thanks for the account. I actually requested an account in order to get in touch with you concerning another matter. I recently noticed a large number of hits on a YouTube video I made of my son Shamus in a robot costume I made for him, titled, “Shamus the Robotic Boy”. I did a discovery and found a link to your site. It appears that someone has created an account with you under the user name, SHAWNMBOLAND, which is MY YouTube user name and entered a robot video contest with you. The video won 4th place and it appears that whoever stole my video won something. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. I actually don’t mind that the video is on your site and I enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. I put the video on YouTube for people to enjoy and that is happening through your site. I would however appreciate it if you could at least disable the account under SHAWNMBOLAND as that is being used by someone who pulled a fast one on you. If you need confirmation or proof you can go to my YouTube page and post a message on it asking for confirmation of this e-mail and I will reply to you through my YouTube page. Again I don’t mind that the video is linked through your site, I actually like that more people are seeing it, but it was not posted by me.
agreed Well, the real Shawn is being a good sport about all this. I know I’d be pretty p*ssed off. Assuming this checks out, I hope the false mr Boland will show he’s a good sport too and send the goodies to the real mr Boland.
Call me paranoid, but i kind Call me paranoid, but i kind of seriously doubt that someone randomly stumbled upon the contest, subscribed to the forum and decided to do the fraud just to win some electronic parts… meaning that i wouldn’t be surprised if the fake Shawnboland was actually a real LMR member under a false identity. But i maybe the admin can find out if they have our ip address…
