Google+ : Pretending to be someone else, not me

Google+ : Pretending to be someone else, not me
Google+ : Pretending to be someone else, not me, a photo by stevegarfield on Flickr.

Update:
Just report them as a 'Fake Profile.' It was early when I found this. You should probably leave now and go read something else.


Google +:
"You can't report a profile for impersonation on behalf of another person. The person who's being impersonated should submit this form themselves."

Really?

I can't even report a spammer who starts following me as Jennifer Lawrence, Model, from The Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University?

That's sad.

NOT Jennifer Lawrence - Google+

That's the first time I ever saw that option although I'm told it's been there for a while. I read it incorrectly.

It says, "Pretending to be someone else, not me."

Which I read as, "Someone is out there pretending to be someone else, they are not pretending to be me, but some famous person."

It's early.

I chose another option and reported them as a 'Fake Profile.'
