Identity Theft

I received a text from my brother this afternoon.
He was asking if we could talk.
I called him and just from his voice I knew he was upset about something.


"Ano gagawin mo pagka-ginamit ang pangalan mo sa masamang gawain
na di mo naman ginawa?"


It turned out that someone used his identity.
And it tried to rekindle a war from his former groupmates
from hell.


That 'someone' created a email, similar to what my brother's,
on a different domain.
For example, my brother uses chisato_kei@yahoo.com
That 'someone' created kei_chisato@gmail.com


And the gmail was used to sent a mail to one of his damned groupmates.
One of his groupmates claimed the email which my brother sent,
have said some profanities to them.


My brother said that he was confronted by this incident
by one of those damned groupmates.
I think it was in a computer shop.


My brother said he didn't email them at all.
And if indeed he would try to email someone from his groupmates,
it would not that person who received it.
But he insisted he's not interested at all to do such scheme.


Those bastards are hard-headed.
They still push my brother that it was he no doubt with such email.


I told my brother that I'm interested to get in touch with those bastards.
He said he didn't need my assistance and just hearing him out.


I'm upset that those bastards still continue to harass my brother.
They've been spreading rumors that he's a difficult group mate
when in fact, my brother did the WHOLE THING for them then
they dropped him off the group.


This is the second time I've asked my brother that I need to know
those guys.
I can't stand that they keep doing this to him.
This has to end.


But my brother said to me, "Kaya ko ito. Kailangan ko rin naman matuto ipagtanggol sarili ko."


He asked me if I have encountered it too.
I told him yes.
It was someone cloaking under my IP add. It tried to hack some of my on-line
accounts too, few were successfully stolen.
And due to that incident, some used it to their advantage to scar my identity.


The hacking incident was sad (nakakairita rather)
but at the same time I learned something.
I learned who were my real friends and those who knew the real me and can understand me.


My brother said how do I handle if someone thinks bad of me?
I told him, let them.
The truth shall and ultimately prevail.


Besides, people who are so stuck-up to prove their theory eg.
"Biatch yan si Nagi" or "Nanglalaglag yan si Aizen"
are in a hamster wheel ride.
