Someone is pretending to be me?

Someone is pretending to be me?
Let me start off by saying that I try to be very smart when it comes to the Internet. All of my accounts are private except twitter, and I don't give out my snapchat unless I know the person asking. A few hours ago, a random guy messaged me on Facebook. He sent this huge long message telling me that he was in a relationship with a girl who he thought was me. Well, not me me, but she was using my pictures. He gave me her "name," if it's even her real name. The guy told me that he did a google picture search, and that's how he found me. He also said that the girl would never skype him or anything, and never wanted to meet up. He gave me links to all her accounts too.

I have NO idea how this person got my pictures. I'm only 15, and I feel so uncomfortable. I also feel terrible that this guy thought he was dating me. How should I confront the person using my pictures? Thanks for your advice, and sorry this question is so long.

Sorry, I really don't know how to categorize this question. I just really need advice. Any is appreciated.

First of all, why isn't your twitter account private?
Second, you need to change your passwords, now and then- maybe every other month, or even once a year.
If someone is impersonating you, you need to report this problem,to the police,maybe even the FBI.
Did you ever see a movie called, Identity Thief? It's supposed to be funny, but it's not. And one point that the movie makes, is there's no easy way to confront, nor to personally capture an identity thief. Identity theft causes a lot of problems, for the victims. I wish, I could give you a better answer than that.

I wonder if it is someone you know, either a friend, crush,or not so good friend, trying to wind you up? Wondering what you would say? Playing a joke on you? By making a false facebook account..(very easy to do) and taking your pic from your profile?..I am not sure you can simply Google a picture to see whose it is.

I would be cautious with this..do not appear to affected by it. If it is someone playing a game, you do not need to feed into it. Just block the person

You should take this situation to your parent&#x2F;Guardian.They will handle it.don&#x27;t be afraid to tell them what happened.if you are not comfortable than you should confront the person by telling them to please stop and request them to take down their profile. If your account is private than maybe someone you know might have gotten your pictures.if someone hacked it the the hacker could get into trouble.tell the person &quot;Please take down your profile of me.I don&#x27;t feel very comfortable with your profile.i don&#x27;t want any trouble.if that doesn&#x27;t work then tell everyone you know that your profile has been hacked and send them the links of the hacker and make an announcement.
