I recently (last saturday the 30th of April) switched over from Verizon to Comcast Cable.

As I went to register the account, I discovered that someone (or perhaps several people) had registered with my user names.

Now, this in itself wouldn't have been too unusual, as I know that many people think up the same name, or modify it (like Hacker, Haxor, hacker1, hackor2, etc.)

BUT

I have been on the Internet 11 1/2 years (or maybe a little more) and someone had registered ALL of my names at Comcast, specifically, and as far as I can tell, no where else.

(I only use 3 names), but I've been using them for 11 1/2 years, and I'm known pretty well all over the net.... and, I use them for my Internet Email (21 Email accounts all over the Net)

I have reported this to Comcast, and we are persuing the possibilities of it being the same person, or group of persons (like they all live in Springfield Missouri, or something).

Anyone else here have this problem ??

What did you do to get your name back ??

Did you get your name back ??

Is there somewhere I can report this on the Net (like an agency that checks out possible identity theft) ??

This is a little bit humorous. Or maybe comical is a better word.

Your on-line nick(s) are not considered a legal identifying item.

Your identity is your full legal name and SSN# and current residence.

why don't you register a domain name and then you can reclaim your "identity" by using your nickname@yourdomain.com.

Goodluck,

i used to use a certain name, and on many emails, i registered it

but if i try to use that same name (now five years later) i notice its gone

so i went from raafi@hotmail.com raafi@yahoo.com, etc, to now raafi9999@netscape, or raafi9999@gmail, because the early years of using simple names is long gone

aol used to have a limit of 5 or 8 characters to their name, now i believe its up to 15

names are going fast, so if you had the same name for 11 years, you can bet, all types of variations of it are gone now
