ARTICLE REQUESTS USING MY NAME!!
Posted: Sun Dec 20, 2009 12:23 pm
I have not submitted any articles as of joining here. Other projects have prevented this, so far. I finally am able to return to CC to try to become familiar with the site and what do I find?? Numerous public requests for articles under my name!!! Listing my email, my web site!!! What is this?? I am not needing articles, I am a writer - and am only listed as an author!
Is this to be expected? Does one join this site and then have identity theft begin? My web site is still being worked on, my email is not open for public use - I started having spam problems about a month ago - when many of these false requests were posted.
Has anyone else experienced this? I do not believe I want to continue being part of a site that cannot enforce security and allows fraudulent requests for work to be posted. How many other requests for articles are based on author profiles? Are any of the public requests real?
I'm truly disappointed - no wonder online writing 'services' such as this and others have so much difficulty being taken seriously - abuse of personal information and ficiticious postings for work?
