It has come to my attention that a photo of mine from a 2018 post on this here blog thingy, has been copied and is being used on more than one social media site under someone else’s name. It appears as if an individual is impersonating this other person using my photo.

Fearsome Beard wearing his Pink Pussy Hat hand knitted especially for him by our beloved Anne Marie in Philly for the 2018 Women’s March
If anyone runs into this photo if me wearing the Pink Pussy Hat, that our beloved Anne Marie in Philly knitted for me, on any other site than this here Fearsome Beard site, or sees this photo with any other name than Fearsome Beard, please know that the photo has been copied and is being used without my permission and that the name being used is most likely not the person who is making the post either, but an imposter.
Sad news although sort of understandable, it is a magnificent look ❤️
Thanks! Anne Marie was quite proud of it!
Wow that’s frustrating. Welcome to the world of online impersonation, I guess? I am not surprised the scammer chose your image, though: beautiful people tend to attract more engagement.
Thank you as that’s a wonderful compliment. The troll/scammer isn’t trying to impersonate me but someone else. Just using my photo. The person who they are impersonating has been quite courteous to me. I posted this to at the least help by confirming here that this is my photo and he isn’t who they are implying on those other sites.
Bummer about the stolen photo. May the thief incur the wrath-from-beyond-the-grave of Anne Marie! She was such a magnificent knitter, wasn’t she!
I treasure it.
That happened to me once. In a way I was flattered someone thought me handsome enough to say ‘this is me” (on a Arabic website of all things)
