Please be advised that over the past few months, a small group of individuals have been impersonating me online using fake email addresses, shell accounts, and other forms of communication. These individuals are skilled at social engineering, and are also criminally dangerous. So far, the purpose seems to be attempts to gain access to information which might be considered confidential and to build trust relationships by proxy. If you receive any unexpected communication from me, especially from an unknown email address, phone number, or another medium, please reach out to me on a trusted form of communication to verify if it is me. Please note, I don’t presently have any social media accounts.

I have been working with an attorney and with the district attorney’s office in the subjects’ area. Yes, we know exactly who the individuals are, and the situation is being closely monitored. Enough information has been gathered at this point to be able to alert people publicly. Anyone who knows me should already know my trusted paths of communication, however these individuals have approached people who hardly know me, making that more difficult. Please reach out to the Riverside County, CA District Attorney’s Office at (951) 955-5400 with any information if you suspect you have been contacted by someone claiming to be me.
