Facebook latest- using a preformer name

[Dylan Devere]

Hi guys

Have you seen the latest reason facebook have given for disabling profiles!!

Hi, Facebook is a community where people use their real identities. We require everyone to provide their real first and last names and real birthday so you always know who you're connecting with.

Please reply to this email and attach a digital image of one of the acceptable documents outlined below so we can verify your account information. We will permanently delete our record of this digital image from our servers after we use it to confirm your identity.

If you have a government-issued ID (ex: passport or drivers license) please attach that.

If you do not have a government-issued ID, please attach copies of at least TWO documents that: - Are from a respected institution (ex: business, school, university)- Combined show your full name, birthday, and picture

Some examples of acceptable documents include: - School or work ID- Utility bill- Marriage license- Legal name change paperwork- Credit card (with the number blacked out)- Birth certificate If possible, save this file as a JPEG and cover up any personal information that we don't need to verify your identity (ex: address, license number).

We also recommend sending your attachments over a secure connection. Find out more here: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=148993491850191.

Note that we won?t be able to assist with this account you until we receive your identification.

Thanks,
Marishka

What a load of rubbish! Many famous people use stage names! In fact, not many are their real names! So how and why are THEY on Facebook?!

If you are crazy enough to send that kind of detailed documentation to someone on the basis of an email, you deserve to have your bank account emptied and/ or a loan taken out in your name for ?100,000!

Not spam babe- the account has been disabled. I've had to build yet another profile

I agree- I'd never send anyone those details.

But the account was disabled and that was a reply to an email I sent to them through the website so it's genuine.

You can already predict the future headline, "Facebook servers hacked, thousands of personal details stolen!"

Just wait and see.
