What to do about an imposter?

Someone created this account:

http://scratch.mit.edu/users/BoItbait

It is not me.  And, they are doing it to appear to be me!

What should I do about this bogus account?

Re: What to do about an imposter?

I would ask the scratch team to look into it.

Re: What to do about an imposter?

That's considered "gaming the community" and it's not okay (per the Community Guidelines).  I blocked the account.  Keep your eyes open for any more  smile

Normally, any account issues like this, I would recommend that you use the Contact Us form at the bottom of every page.  But it so happens that I was online and I took care of it.

Re: What to do about an imposter?

Surprisingly, people do this all the time. I've had three people copy my account name and try to get views by tricking everyone.
