Myung fake og not Instagram profile
« on: October 24, 2019, 01:37:25 AM »

There have been discussions in the past about John Myung's Instagram being fake, seems like most people think this is the real John something that it is not or??? Yes know that DT is official and Jordan follows but Myung is not on social media. Should not the DT management ask this person to remove this if this is fake?.

Interesting, because I also thought at first glance that the account was real. The account owner definitely wants you to believe it's JM. Maybe he's just not aware that there are mechanisms to shut it down? Any person can report the account for impersonating a celebrity and if Instagram judges that they are really impersonating, they will send the person a message asking them to prove their identity.

I just wonder if he's aware that this is such an easy impersonation case that all he has to do is send one email to instagram support and they would shut it down. Photogs are tagging that account thinking it's the real deal!

I followed it until yesterday when I found this out. Whoever is running it is also putting JMX's kids names out there because one of the last pics I saw was of a young kid....some poster asked if that was his son and he said "no I have two sons" then listed their names.

I'm sure it's public knowledge that you could find if you wanted but still......

While this looks like a more serious attempt to con people, it did remind me of this DTF classic from days of yore...

The only person who can do anything about it is JM himself. He's been made aware of it, and has (so far) not taken any action. Nothing we can do then.

The thing is that recently,when the band posted their group photo for their new album on IG,they had tagged their members.
So,they were all tagged,JM included.
That means that maybe JM has accepted the account as his own?

The members of the band doesn't run the bands social media accounts. It's run by a hired team that also does the website and stuff. So don't read too much into what gets posted where on social media..

You can report accounts on Instagram.
