Thanks for all of the replies. I have been feeling really childish letting this upset me so much, but your responses make me feel better about the way I'm feeling.

No, this girl is not member here. At least I don't think she is. Reporting this to the moderators is a good idea. That way it is out of my hands and can be dealt with correctly. It just makes me so MAD!

OMG, that is just so incredibly horrible!!

Reporting her to mods on forums is the best way to go, but on Facebook, I think I would start posting comments on her wall or commenting on her status updates. I would try to "out" her to her Facebook friends. Any of them that I know personally, I would send them a private message telling them the real story. I guess doing that would make me feel like I did what I could to keep others from being harmed by her advice or taken advantage of by her in some way.

Good luck dealing with this difficult situation!

I would also calmly suggest to someone that she trusts (older family friend, her parent, partner, etc) that she go get counseling. If she is doing this she has a serious mental problem.

Well, I say we ALL go to the forums where she is posting and follow up her every comment with "Don't feed the trolls." We can ambush her. It makes me so sad to see people feeding into it, unfortunately, we all know how easy it can be to get fooled.

You are absolutely justified in feeling like you do. I really think alerting moderators is the best way to go. Calling her out may just amplifiy things. It certainly gives her the attention she craves, and I would try to avoid that.

She should be in therapy. Keep your chin up and know that the people who matter most know the truth.

But, if I ever do run across her, I'm telling her off!

Well being is she's mentally handicap, Tonya I think before you choose that course of action, to message her first with a "heads up" and inform her that you know her situation, and wish that she stop pretending to be someone she's not, as it offends you.

If she doesn't stop, I'd say post all sorts of messages with guns blazin. But be careful, any random posts might seem like spam, and it could magnify her mental state.

If people were to attack this person in the way you suggested, i.e. leaving "don't feed the trolls" on her threads, then you would be doing exactly what you set out NOT to do (feeding a troll). The best way to shut these people down is to totally ignore them. They thrive on attention, good or bad. If they're outed in a public manner, they go out in a loud and offensive manner. I've seen it happen a number of times on various forums. People should be made aware that she is an impostor, and if she's ignored she will eventually give up. If attention is what the person wants and you give it to them, you're playing into their game. My suggestion would be to totally block the person out and ignore them totally.
