It’s Happened Again – Fake KM Twitter

Early on Saturday morning (UK time) another “Kathryn Morris” Twitter account was created, this time it was @_KathrynMorris.  We’ll call her “Kathryn 2”.

It looked reasonably plausible, with a photo and bio, but then so did the last one we dealt with, the now defunct @KathrynMorris_ account.

Myself and another fan, KM UK regular Kathy, conversed with “Kathryn 2” a little and I did so in private messages as well.  As before I was reserving judgement on “Kathryn 2” until I had more information to go on.  This was likely to take a few days.  Sadly, I’m not going to get that opportunity now as “Kathryn 2” suddenly closed the account, just hours after creating it.

The abrupt closure is probably a sign in of itself that the account was a fake.  The claim in the private chat of a big movie role to be announced soon should be taken with a large pinch of salt too.  Thanks to dianekmfan, another KM UK regular, for pointing out issues with the language “Kathryn 2” was using.  It was odd for a native English speaker and certainly a mark against it but we didn’t get the definite proof we got last time (when the perp dropped a real clanger when claiming where “Kathryn” was at the time) though.

Taking it all into consideration I think that it is safe to say that it was fake.  Such a shame that we didn’t get to expose it as such before that.

At least this time the faker had the good sense to stop before it went any further.  Why they didn’t apply that good sense before hand and not start it in the first place we might never know.

The thing that really puzzles me is to why someone would do this?  Based on the information they had I can only assume that they would say they are a fan of Kathryn.  Personally I don’t think that they should call themselves that.  No fan of Kathryn would try and do this to other fans.  This, for want of a better word, ‘person’ has now lost the right to take that moniker.  “Kathryn 2”, you are no fan of Kathryn!

I think some KM admirers totally hate you.  I am sure that some of them would like to find out who you really are.  Me?  I’m not angry or upset.  I’m disappointed.  Disappointed in the person behind this lie.

    Well, it might be an idiot. No, it is an idiot.

    ”She” can be bored and want to make a joke to persons or maybe a fan who want to have some friends with the same mind.

    But if ”she” was a fan she can made a normal account and Tweet with me, I’m friends with everybody. Naah, almost.

    Well, on thing is sure. My friends and I are really angry (:

  • Thank God I did not see it. So many disappointments about it.
    God, what are people thinking?

  • I didn’t see it either. I wonder if it’s the same person I’ve been suspecting all along. I mean, it’s certainly a similar username.

    Hmmm! Great time for my computer & this new search engine called “Opera” to act up! It better not this time!

    Glad to know that u exposed another fake,”Kathryn” out there! Not sure as to the “why” someone would feel the need to do this,other than to say, lack of confidence in themselves,along with a need in wanting to feel accepted & draw attention to there self thru misleading,deceit of others and not caring who it may effect or hurt! There own life is boring,by taking on someone else’s life maybe they feel self important!
