Scott Maxwell has an interesting column. Facebook and catfishing.

Hey, Facebook, some guy stole my life!

It was pretty clear someone had lifted my personal info and photos to create a fake Facebook page. (I learned about the page after someone Brett was trying to con let me know. Brett had left some of the “tags” with my real name on a few of the photos.)

This was the profile photo of "Brett Colin." It looks like Brett had a great day at the Orlando City soccer game. Except he didn't. That was my day. With my son and my father. "Brett" had lifted the photo for a fake Facebook page - which Facebook originally refused to take down. (Scott Maxwell via Facebook)

So I contacted Facebook and told them about the scam — which was when my weird story got weirder.

Facebook quickly let me know it understood the problem: “You reported someone for pretending to be you.”

But Facebook also said that was fine with them.

That's all I'm allowed to quote. In a nutshell, Facebook claimed it wasn't against their Community Standards. An expert in social media security told Maxwell that people steal identities to catfish. Or, in other words, reel people who for either romantic reasons or to con money from them.

Maxwell said he had the page removed by asking others to contact Facebook.

Other good advice in column, but it may be a pay situation.
