- Me, Myself, and I
- Hi everyone, you may call me Andy, in fact it would be the only thing anyone ever called me (except my mum she used to call me... nah wait you don't need to know that) Well now where do we start *deep breath* you may have noticed many people on bebo who may (or may not) be who they say they are. Yip unfortunate I know. Well I have a degree in Social Work and Youth Work hopefully to get my councilling job in a school next month, woo hoo! Anyways i work with those lovely ladies at Fake Celebrities and perhaps it may be my job to give you advice, if you so wish. I'm not that scary really. So if you have a question about the idea of Celebrity on bebo please ask here, or with those super nice beboing Fake Celebrity gals: Jan, Ciara and Aine. Your best bets are with Jan and Ciara, they're university students and (having been through it myself) have loads of time to waste on bebo rather than takle those essays, so never hesitate to give them a buzz if you wish. http://know-the-ris
- Bloging it up!
- So this is the point where i redirect you to my blogs. They are direct from bebo itself under terms and conditions, safe use and other help tips they have included and copied here for u incase u havnt come across them. Be sure to follow it and stay safe. Also make sure to not only check the blogs that appear on Fake Celebrities http://know-the-risk.bebo.com but the previous ones that were written a long time ago (go to view all)
- So the question of Celebrity
- Ok kids so... this may be difficult to hear, but as of yet, you may well asume that Bebo does not house profiles for the rich and the famous. This I am afraid must be a fact of life we all must stand up and face ladies and gentlemen, grannies and kids (well not sure how much of the elderly are really on bebo though) However, for the good news, move down to the Bebo Band bit (below beboness)
- Beboness
- So I do not actually work directly for the company that is bebo, one must understand, but was contacted by those less professional... (God i need to stop bigging them up) those super-nice dedicated beboers that are the founders of Fake Celebrities, of their concerns of young'uns (thats not patronising is it?) beleiving people to be real celebrities on bebo and the safety of this in terms of adults creating these profiles. And so up I was dragged in (god dammit their charming aswell) and helped with their campaign upon this new form of social networking.
- Bebo Band
- And here arrives the good news, there are indeed actual official band sites on people... YAY! SCORE! However only on a BAND PAGE not a personal profile. This would be an OFFICIAL page for the person that would go along with their website and myspace among others. The main way to judge this is based upon who the members of the band are (you know the bit i mean, the person who has set up the band) if this is solely, ie. the ONLY member, a record company then it is official YAY! for example if the band member is Mercury Records then its true. This is the bebo site for this celebrity
- Fake Celebrity member #1 Jan
- Before Fake Celebrities came about, Jan (or Janice) was a habitual fake hassler. She would scope them out and annoy the living daylights out of them for her own pleasure (slightly sadistic huh?) after a bout of rough-housing with a supposed Emma Watson fake and her misled fans Jan had become super annoyed and alerted best friend Ciara while chatting on MSN and next door neighbout Aine. And so became a founding member of Fake Celebrities. Jan is not one to get angry she has spurts known as 'JJJ' of anger, somewhat like the Hulk! She studies sociology in Belfast and knows how to talk to people. She gives great advice, loves Snow Patrol, Spiderman, and enjoys the company of her many many friends.
- Fake Celebrity member #2 Ciara
- The brains behind the operation. Ciara had the main idea to set up a band page to seek out fakes and abuse them. Over the course of time she had changed the site into an educated information on the people attempting to be celebrities (and roped me along in the process). She had first contacted Jan on the legendary fake Emma Waston that started it all. And alerted Aine after both Jan and herself were blocked. Ciara had also designed the Fake Celebrity logo and had wrote the opening paragraph. She is the most frequent monitor of the site and can frequently be found answering queries from groupies. She studies Film Studies and American History in Liverpool and knows a thing or to about the business of being an Actor/Actress. She has amazing confidence, loves Jimmy Eat World, Harry Potter, Leeds Utd, complaining, going to concerts and of course Orlando Bloom
- Fake Celebrity member #3 Aine
- After receiving an instant message of a beboer that needed to be abused, Aine jumped at the chance! Being the only hope to stop this infamous fake Emma Watson from giving awful advice to young fans, she nobely stepped in to assess the situation. Seeing the dangers that posing as a celebrity could do she felt that something needed to be done to counteract it and thought the idea of a bebo band was amazing. Aine is the tough act of the group and is always on hand to knock a few notorious fakes down a few pegs! She is currently doing her A levels at the mo and hopes to head off to university this September and works very hard in all areas of life. Self-depricating and somewhat random Aine loves her music in whatever form that may take, she loves her friends and fears leaving her classmates this summer, very funny and not one to be crossed, Aine completes the triumvirate of Fake Celebrities that is finder to brains to fake tackler

A few extracts:
The problems encountered in social networking or other anonymous online communities typically fall into three categories:
ID theft, fraud and privacy abuses;
cyberbullying, cyberstalking and harassment; and
sexual predators, con artists and sexual exploitation.
[For Parents] Remind them to password protect anything personal and only allow their real life friends to have access. Make sure they do not communicate with strangers who try and contact them at the site.
Your personal information could be easily abused and misused. Your password can often be guessed, your identity can be stolen, it can be used by people wanting to defraud you or groom a teen into an offline meeting
They are Just People You Meet Online, Not Real Friends: Remember that your online friends are not really your friends. You may like them, think they understand the real you and even connect. But, unless you know them offline, they are not real friends. They are just cyberfriends. You don't know if that cute twenty-year old guy is cute, twenty or even a guy. Treat them like strangers you encounter on a bus. Chat with them, but don't spill your guts to them. They should not be entrusted to provide you with advice about important life issues, or confided in, no matter how tempting it may be. No matter how often you have chatted with someone or how much you think you know about them, you never really know who you are chatting with online. People who are smarter than you have been tricked. Don't become a victim!
NOW FAKE FINDERS AND MAKE THIS CLEAR THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR BEBO, THE ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONES CAN BE FOUND HERE:
http://www.bebo.com/StaticPage.jsp?S...
AND PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER BEBO DOES NOT AUTHORISE THE RELIABILITY OF ANYONE ON BEBO OK? HONESTLY NO ONE!!! NO PROOF REAL CELEBRITY CERTIFICATES.
PLEASE DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO IT! KEEP YOUR OWN HEAD ABOVE YOUR SHOULDERS THINK CLEARLY AND REALISE THE ABSURDITY. A CELEBRITY ON BEBO (IF EXSISTING WOULD NOT REPEAT, WOULD NOT BE PUBLIC AND WOULD NOT, AGAIN REPEAT, WOULD NOT ADD YOU AS A FRIEND. IT GOES AGAINST EVERY SINGLE PRIVACY ISSUE IN THE BOOK. DO NOT ACCEPT MSN ADDRESSES YOU WILL END UP DISAPPOINTED.
and of course lastly to the infamous Fake Celebrities, read this think of it. Stop whatever you are doing right now and THINK! Stop lying to yourself. You are not the person you say you are. Stand up now and have the confidence to be who YOU are. Not some person in the limelight. YOU are more important. Sometimes it doesn't always work but there is always one fan believing you. Be the real you! Stop and think how you would look back at your teenage years when you will be 40. Wasted in front of a computer being someone else than loving the person you are. I know its hard but move on we all must decide the choice between what is right and easy. Prove NOW that you are mature enough to leave that past behind.
