Avoid Cyber Stalkers by using a different persona

Want to create multiple online Personas?

In seconds you can be safely logged in as a different person.

 Persona is an anonymity tool that lets you create and manage multiple online personas or identities and easily switch between them while protecting your real identity.

There are many legitimate reasons to want to have an alternative online account but today Online Service Providers like Google and Facebook are actively working to identify and remove duplicate and fake accounts.
Persona helps you manage multiple online identities keeping them totally separate and allowing you to make each appear to be in a different location using a different device (PC, Mac, Linux, Tablet, smartphone etc).
Persona can be used by anyone that wants to safely operate an alternative online persona and reduce the risk of it being linked back to their real accounts and identity.

Why do you need a tool like Persona to create another account?

What most people do not reaslize is that its their computer or device that is automatically providing the online service providers with the information that links their different accounts and enables them to identify duplicate or fake profiles.

Persona addresses this by allowing you to create and easily manage multiple profiles and accounts, while keeping each quarantined from the others.

It also allows the accounts to appear to be in different locations using different devices (PC, Mac, Linux, Tablet, smartphone etc).

Change your Account

Each account is kept separate from the others with their own browsing history (cookies etc). This is important because if you attempt to operate multiple accounts using the same browser all the account will be linked by the online service providers who actively track and link different user accounts. It also protects

Change your Location

Your IP address shows your location. Persona allows each new persona to have a different location using automatic proxy switching which gives each a new IP address to match the location of the new persona.

Change your device

Your User Agent is a publicly visible description of the device you are using and is automatically send by your browser to each website you visit. Your browser will publish information about the make and model as well as the operating system of your device.
To make your multiple personas more credible, and reduce the chance of your different accounts  being linked, they need to appear to be on different devices. Persona also provides User Agent Switching which simply means that each persona can pretend to be using different devices, operating systems and browsers.

What are some of the legitimate reasons for creating and using a different online persona?

Political correctness – freely participate in online discussions and express your opinions without fear that you might jeopardize a position you hold, or it could even result in you losing your job.
Personal Safety – protect your real identity online from sexual predators, cyber stalkers and other online sickos, especially when engaging in activities like online dating.
Identity theft – foil cyber criminals that would attempt to steal your real identity and commit fraud.
Personal Privacy – keep your professional and private life separate including your sexual preference, political affiliation or other personal interests.
Information Privacy – stop online marketing companies from building profiles on your surfing and buying habits.
GeoLocation Unblocking – the internet can block content based on your nationality and reported location but you can create a new persona in a country that is not being geo-blocked.
Online Research – conduct legitimate research where your real identity or cultural, ethnic, religious background might be an impediment.
Whistle blower – expose some wrongdoing without fear of reprisal
Big Brother Paranoia – Edward Snowden has brought it to the worlds attention that governments are increasingly spying on their own citizens.
Online visibility – Internet marketers and SEO specialists make use of fake online profiles in an attempt to make the websites they are promoting seem more popular.

False allegations against Christopher Bennetts by internet stalker.

I have been the target of a known internet troll and Cyber Stalker for a number of years now who has published many false allegations about me, and dozens of other expats in the Philippines. In the past I worked with a number of other expats to get the false allegations removed including the many fake accounts and profiles he uses.

We were successful at getting just about everything removed only to see him rebuild them again on other web addresses. For him it was a game and we all decided to stop playing his game.

Unfortunately some of the allegations have caused me grief and a few days ago they reared their ugly head again when I client came across them. For this reason I have decided to make a couple of videos to put them to rest for good.

In this first video I will deal with the arrest warrant and provide conclusive evidence that the allegation that I am a wanted criminal. I will show that the arrest warrant did exist for a short period in 2009 and that when I found out about it, I dealt with it immediately in a court of law and had the case dismissed.

The nature of the arrest warrant was a simply a vendetta from a vindictive ex-girl friend. The charges related to not paying child support and stalking. My ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend disappeared with my child after I made the first monthly payment of 50,000 pesos. My attempts to locate my child are the basis for the charge of stalking which is laughable.

I am forced to put publish this but do not want to open old wounds with my ex-girlfriend and her partner. I now have a new family, and from what I understand they still together and now living in Thailand.

I think this quote sums up much of our previous experience:

“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”

Regain your name Google cyberbullying and Reputation Management bundle

I just purchased and watched a video / ebook on how to make complaints to google to get the material published by a cyber stalker removed.   I have been doing most the things covered in the book already but they did have a few insights such as not using the picture is of me option when making a DMCA complaint.  I have been using this and despite adding explanations that a picture was taken with my own camera at my request i get an automated message from google saying they have decided not to do anything at this time.

The thing i have come to understand is that Google and others are all about doing the minimum they a compelled to do by law so if they can use any loop hole to avoid doing anything they will.  I will now try some experiments with using the "picture of me" with an affidavit attachment and also not claiming its a picture of me.

I was disappointed with the bundle in general as its entirely screen tutorials on how to make complaints through Googles complaint application.  No information included at all.

I have been thinking about writing my own guide book on dealing with cyber bullies and cyber stalkers  and am more convinced than ever that I should.

The ebook is just a copy of the video.  Its all about making complaints for removal so I don't know why they include "Reputation Management" as its not covered other than the fact that removing negative material will help with your online reputation.  They seem to sell only two products. There is another one of Facebook which I assume is very similar.   The main thing they sell is their own services. They will do all the work for you if you do not want to struggle with it yourself.

In the absence of anything better this package is still very helpful to someone who is the victim of a cyber stalker.

This is the description of the package I purchased:

Included in the 9 Video and eBook anti Google cyberbullying and Reputation Management bundle:

1. How and where to sign up to Google to remove material effectively.
2. How to remove out of date search results.
3. How to complain about and remove defamation and other illegal material.
4. How to complain about and remove adult material featuring your name or the name of your business.
5. How to make an effective copyright (DMCA) complaint for stolen text or photographs, and get that page removed from Google search results.
6. How to remove confidential information from Google search results.

Complaints Process on different platforms

The complaints process seems to vary widely from platform to platform.

I have gained experience in making complaints while working with a group to remove the known cyber stalker Evan Iliadis.   For more than five years he has been publishing pages of lies made up in his sick perverted little mind.  He has published them wherever he could taking advantage of free social media and blogging platform he could find.

So far we have had success removing some of has material from all platforms but some are far less responsive than others.

Wordpress are the most responsive when it comes to abuse complaints. Evan is totally gone from wordpress.  He did try to sneak back using a fake name recently but Wordpress quickly removed the new blog.

blog.com  are slow to respond but we have had success.  There are still some blogs/material that needs to be removed but none of it is very visible on the internet anyway.

blogger/blogspot  have been one of the hardest nuts to crack.  Evan probably had more than a dozen blogs and most of these are now gone.  All that really remains is his sexpatswallofshame blog which he duplicated over multiple countries.  I recently complained about the Australian version and this has now been taken down and a notice made on chilling effects.  This notice will now facilitate getting the rest taken down.

Facebook were not as responsive as I thought they would be which is surprising after reading the bad press they are getting over fake profiles which has also seen their stocks drop like lead.  Finally they responded and removed a fake profile of myself.  Evan came back a week later with another fake account which this time Facebook promptly removed.

Topix is another responsive platform.  I complained about a fake profile of myself being used for a thread about another of his victims.  I guess he thought it was amusing to have "me" writing rubbish about another of his victims that I knew. They removed it.  That is the only complaint I have made so far at Topix but soon we will turn our attention to that platform.  I have already created an account there in preperation.

Godaddy for is domain based blogs have been very responsive.  One of his victims lodged a copyright complaint and Godaddy removed the site.  Evan has now appealed that removal but does not realize that in doing so he has now given us very solid legal grounds to go after him.  We do need to quickly file a case against him and an attorny in the Philippines is doing that this week.  We will then go after all this domains including his very first site vap-ripoff.  

Blogger Response To Abuse Complaints

I have been working with a group of people to get the malicious material of known Cyber Stalker Evan Iliadis removed from various networks.

We have had success with all networks but some a more responsive to others.  Unfortunately Blogger are among the least responsive.  They seem to employ people of questionable intelligence and reasoning power to process the complaints and there seems to be a standing order to decline to take action even when the complaint is totally legitimate.

For example I have complained about fake profiles of myself using my name and my photograph and three times the complaint has come back that I should try to resolve this direclty with the blogger.

The "blogger" has broken their own TOS by created fake accounts but Blogger do not seem interested in cleaning up its network and protecting the rights of others.  I have complained on the grounds of impersonation and copyright and both have been met with automated responses that they have decided not to take action at this time. 

Here are a couple of examples:

http://evaniliadisfakeprofiles.blogspot.com/2012/08/fake-profile-in-my-name-3.html

I will continue to complain while i prepare legal action with will include a cease and desist order directed at both Evan Iliadis and Blogger
