I'm afraid that your domain, awimshoes.com, isn't registered here at WordPress.com.

According to your WHOIS record, it's registered at iPage. You'll need to renew your domain through your registrar in order to continue using that domain.

While your domain is registered elsewhere, you are using the Domain Mapping upgrade here at WordPress.com — which is set to expire on July 13, 2012.

can you help restore my site, or provide instruction on how to do that?

thanks.

IMHO posting here at all was a bad move that fed the troll and continuing to post to it now is feeding the troll.

You do know that this is a public forum, right? And you do know the troll is getting what it wants because you posted here and it's watching you, right?

If I were you I would be asking worpress.com Staff support to delete all the links in this thread and then lock it. Then the troll could not see what I was doing and would not be getting off on my discomfort.

Starve the troll!

Sadly, I can't say the same for myself. They know what I look like, my name, where I work, where I study. I have learned my lesson about being so visible on the Internet the hard way and now I have to learn how to back away and let go.

I wish I won't have to feel paranoid or feel that I have to hide from people forever. It's just scary that when I go out, this person who's trying to ruin me or the people they've convinced will recognize me and hurt me for real. Or worse, they go after my loved ones. I really want to spare them from all that more than anything.

And I'm sorry if I'm just letting this out here. Talking to you has made me feel better and I've learned a lot of ways to try and fix this problem. If I find this person, then great. If I don't, I can just work on getting his fake blog deleted. But if even that doesn't work in my favor then I guess I'll just have to make sure his fake blog gets buried so deep in search engines that no one will find it.

I'm sorry about my comment on being less important. I guess it just feels that way because I'm panicking and scared.

Also, I have contacted James Lee of http://jronaldlee.com and notified him of the fake poster. He believes me and has taken down the comment from the fake poster. It's a small piece of the silver lining but I really do believe that because I am telling the truth, sooner or later, people will believe me. And maybe WordPress will believe me too.

I will take your advice about making a page on my blog to advertise my real blogs but I'm not going to talk about or link to the fake blog anymore because that's what this crazy person wants. To be more popular in the search engines and to get a reaction out of me. So I've decided not to converse with him anymore and will just focus on promoting my own work as an artist without mentioning about this situation.

I'm wondering though if I can already take out the original content in my Tumblr from where this person stole the information for his About Page in his fake blog because I have personal information there such as where I study and where I work and since this is already a security issue, I just want to lessen the possibilities of attracting more trouble. I'm just worried that WordPress won't believe me if I remove the original content.

I believe WordPress is just protecting themselves from being sued. Because unless there's a court document or some sort of a violation report, they can't pull blogs. Because what if they pull the wrong blog because the real imposter convinced them the other is the imposter.

Make a page on your blog specifically addressing the matter and keep it on your blog. I recently made a blog post about my imposters and will soon make it a new page too. I've tried telling as many people as i can about the imposters also. But there really isn't much else that I can do. They also want the reaction from you which they crave and feed off of. I've learned very painfully to start backing away from many things and walking away. They will eventually get bored and move on to something else.

I know that but that's why I'm asking them what I can present to them so they'll help me find who this is. I already have the local authorities working on it here but this person thrives on being anonymous but I know that he used his own email for his fake WordPress blog because he said so in that pinoychan.org site. He said that he started receiving notifications when I found his WordPress and commented.

They are already trying to hack into my email. Isn't that a security concern already? I don't understand why it's hard for people to understand. I wouldn't care if I didn't think my security was being compromised. I have since taken down photos and other information about myself but have kept the one on my Tumblr account so WordPress can have that as another piece of evidence that my content was stolen and that this person created a fake blog with it.

I have also sent in more evidence than I can think of, short of sending them my birth certificate. Do I have to do that as well? Isn't that a bit too extreme?

I know people are trying to help out but the WordPress abuse team isn't replying, at all. I know they're busy and maybe it's because I'm from the Philippines, making me less important than the other people here. If that's not the case, it sure feels that way.

I am just really worried. This person is really determined to make my life hell. Here are excerpts from his post on pinoychan.org just to make things even clearer, for people who don't want to click on the link:

They have also started using my name for rudely commenting on people's websites such as http://jronaldlee.com/2010/02/love-letter/#comment-2463 just to get people to think I'm a bad person who just wants to criticize everybody.

You already have the attention of the abuse team.

Either they have enough information to act, in which case they will. Or they don't, in which case they won't. That's it.

"I'm also worried that this person will just do this over and over again and so the best bet is to really just stop him by finding him and making a case against him."

This may be the best advice you'll find in this thread. The WordPress.com abuse team deals with blog posts. They don't have the power to remove someone from the face of the earth.

I have already sent in photo evidence with my work ID and myself holding the work ID to both abuse-[email removed] and [email removed please don't feed the spam bots]
TOSreports replied saying that they can't help me until I send them the correct DMCA format for complaints but I already did that, based on http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/09/dmca-notice-of-copyright-infringement.html.

Abuse-report has not replied since Friday last week.

I really don't understand. So please, help me. This person is already gathering forces and I don't know why he's so adamant at ruining me. I am not a famous person nor am I the bad person that they all think I am.
