Spaff & Tom Imposters - Watch Out
Archive: 56 posts
| I have received word that someone on LBP is posing as Spaff and Tom. Just be careful if someone contacts you with similar names. Tom and Spaff's user ID's are Tom_Molecule & Spaff_Molecule The people who are posing as them have very similar ID's, the only difference is that the second L (ell) in molecule is in fact an I (eye). It's difficult to tell in-game, as the i's look like lowercase L's. Do not, believe a word they say, nor give any info whatsoever to them (sign-in details for example). The real Spaff and Tom would never do that. I know that most of you on here are sensible enough to not fall for this but I thought you would like to know. | 2009-12-22 07:26:00 Author: mnimmo1986  Posts: 552 |
o wow how low of them thanks for the heads up man  | 2009-12-22 07:47:00 Author: rseah  Posts: 2701 |
| couldn't they just get Sony to ban those Accounts? | 2009-12-22 07:48:00 Author: JKthree  Posts: 1125 |
| Another ID to watch out for... MM_Studios I were looking on the comment of the news site over on LBW and this user has been going around messaging random people saying they are going to get crowned. | 2009-12-22 09:04:00 Author: mnimmo1986 Posts: 552 |
| I have just seen this imposter at work, and it sickens me. The person who is on the Spaff account has published a level called "An Important Message from Media Molecule." In it, there is a gigantic sign telling people to H4H. I posted a few messages on the level saying that this was an imposter, he decided to send me a PSN message that said "bravo". | 2009-12-22 09:50:00 Author: Burnvictim42  Posts: 3322 |
| Thats kinda... sad.. | 2009-12-22 10:12:00 Author: DanC  Posts: 433 |
| Oh! So THAT'S why there is a h4h level on cool pages from spaff | 2009-12-22 10:21:00 Author: Plasmavore  Posts: 1913 |
| Just been playing with 2 Spaffs Spaff_MoIecule and Spaff_MolecuIe. Seemed nice guys actually. | 2009-12-22 10:49:00 Author: ARD  Posts: 4291 |
| I just saw the massive H4H sign its just sad | 2009-12-22 10:53:00 Author: robotiod  Posts: 2662 |
| I cant believe stupid people would give their password or play a h4h because they think its from the original authors.. trouts anybody? long gooey trouts to slap someone with! 1 dollah! | 2009-12-22 10:54:00 Author: Luos_83  Posts: 2136 |
| I cant believe stupid people would give their password or play a h4h because they think its from the original authors.. The problem is it looks rather Legit. People know that Spaff_Molecule and Tom_Molecule are valid IDs, and Spaff_MolecuIe doesn't look all that different in PSN text. If you hadn't seen this thread, but you'd seen the level, might you think it could have come from a valid source? | 2009-12-22 11:19:00 Author: Burnvictim42 Posts: 3322 |
| This kind of thing would be a ban-able offense in most online games, and it should be in this one too. As a matter of fact, posing as someone else to obtain account information is phishing if I'm not mistaken, which is illegal. I highly advise that if anyone receives such a message, they report it to Sony immediately. These people deserve to get in trouble. | 2009-12-22 11:21:00 Author: Gilgamesh  Posts: 2536 |
| I good grief'd the level as illegal because of him impersonating someone else. | 2009-12-22 11:24:00 Author: robotiod Posts: 2662 |
| Has anyone mailed Spaff or Tom about this? | 2009-12-22 11:44:00 Author: wexfordian  Posts: 1904 |

If you hadn't seen this thread, but you'd seen the level, might you think it could have come from a valid source? no, ( probably because I do not know the official dev names though )that kind of thing would probably headlines on lbl/lbpc. If you have played mmorpg's in the past, you just know that there are people acting like admin/dev-crew. Sure it shows inexperience to these kind of things, but anybody with a little sense would probably ignore it, especially the ones that have been online for more than 10 years. | 2009-12-22 11:48:00 Author: Luos_83 Posts: 2136 |
| they get a "rubbish" , a 1 star ,and a comment. | 2009-12-22 11:48:00 Author: sascha_winter  Posts: 163 |
| Has anyone mailed Spaff or Tom about this? Not directly, but Tom has replied to a thread on the LBW about this. http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&message.id=115610#M115610 :smileysad: People like this are really ****** annoying, aren't they!? We'll try to get them banned. You guy's help the most though by talking about it and making sure people are aware of it, so keep up the good work. ...I guess it's the price you pay for having a name that has some sort of structure to it. Remember we made a reference for who this in the LBP FAQ: http://littlebigplanet.com/en-gb/help/faq/will_i_ever_be_contacted_by_sony_or_mm Cheers | 2009-12-22 12:00:00 Author: mnimmo1986 Posts: 552 |

| This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. It's amazing the lengths people will go to get attention. I hope they get their butts banned for this. And their PSN's, too. | 2009-12-22 14:10:00 Author: xkappax  Posts: 2569 |
| Whoever is behind this crap needs to get their PS3 MAC addresses banned, so they can't get a new IP and thus a new PSN that way. This is the most foolproof banning method. | 2009-12-22 14:26:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| this makes me sick. if they were just foolin around, i'd be fine with it. but a H4H level! that's what makes me sick. FIRE UP DA BANHAMMA!!!! | 2009-12-22 14:36:00 Author: Mopthefloo  Posts: 139 |

| This is pretty pathetic.. I have seen several creators being forged this way and tons of nasty comments associated with them. Sort of a cheap silly way to get the original creator in trouble and or ruin their reputation. ...why this happens in a game as wonderful as LBP makes no sense to me. I think one of the first I saw was someone posing as TheWiggler saying he was quitting etc.. I think if Mm could just fix the font being utilized, then that would pull the 'mask' off very quickly. | 2009-12-22 14:54:00 Author: jwwphotos  Posts: 11383 |
| I don't think you can 'fix' the font, maybe people should just report their PSNs here: http://np.us.playstation.com/complaint/pc/ComplaintForm.aspx | 2009-12-22 14:58:00 Author: Zac Posts: 165 |

| I don't think you can 'fix' the font, maybe people should just report their PSNs here: http://np.us.playstation.com/complaint/pc/ComplaintForm.aspx Yes.. sorry. What I meant was possibly them utilizing a different font like Verdana that included serifs on the I. So an 'I' would not hide as an 'l'. | 2009-12-22 15:07:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
| Oy, these impostors better hope the wrong (or maybe right, in this case) people don't find out who they are, especially me; I have anger issues I've been meaning to get out.. That would end in a double homicide and the arrest of a berserk LBP fan. | 2009-12-22 20:39:00 Author: MegaRock35  Posts: 80 |

| Sorry to revive an oldthread. I am fake spaff. I have worked out an agreement with Media Molecule. I have registered here with a proxy to conceal my identity. You see, This was all a prank. My friends and I had been making secondary spaff accounts to trick our friends. Someone didn't believe me, So i made the account to... Trick them, you should say. It was a prank. However, I am sorry if I have offended any one of you. Only a handful of people know my identity, but If you get enough people to order me to reveal myself, I will. ~Not Spaff | 2010-02-13 02:54:00 Author: Unknown User |

So hang on, this is just a diffrent account you made to "hide your identity"? So you had already joined here before? Meaning it could be anyone of us?

| What part, WHAT PART, of you thought that stealing accounts would class as "Funny?" To answer that, Kerrne, I didn't steal an account. Yoyu have to look at it from a different perspective. Anyways, I've already PMed Spaff & Tom to reveal my identity anyways. I probably don't deserve to be on the PSN Anyway  | 2010-02-13 15:35:00 Author: Unknown User |
| ........ So what you are saying is that you wanted too apologize to us that you made a fake account by making a second LBPC account which is against the rules of this sight. even though now that you have revealed your IP address CC could find out who you are in seconds. Making a second PSN account doesn't break any rules but i second LBPC account for a publicity stunt certainly does. | 2010-02-13 15:43:00 Author: robotiod Posts: 2662 |

| Aren't you people being a little bit dramatic? Just a bit.  Other than it being a bit of a mean joke, what's actually the problem here? It's just some kid wanting to trick his mates into thinking they were getting crowns or whatever. Nobody said there's been any account stealing going on.  | 2010-02-13 16:59:00 Author: Kiminski  Posts: 545 |

I probably don't deserve to be on the PSN Anyway No, you didn't steal accounts, you just impersonated actual Mm employees and lied to who knows how many people, all in a selfish attempt to entertain yourself. Yeah, I can see how looking at it from a different perspective makes it seem OK. I went ahead and banned this account since it counts as secondary. As robotoid said, your IP reveals your other account on the site, so I'll be keeping my eye on you. | 2010-02-13 17:08:00 Author: ConfusedCartman  Posts: 3729 |

I'm not gunna actually do it though, I was just saying that it would be funny to see how they act xD | 2010-02-19 21:02:00 Author: Unknown User |

Hang on, you on about being envious to the fakers or the real Spaff and Tom? Tom_Molecule and Spaff_Molecule (spelt correctly with two L (ells) in molecule, not an i and an L) are the real accounts of spaff and tom. Well their work accounts anyway. | 2010-02-19 21:10:00 Author: mnimmo1986 Posts: 552 |
