I don't know the details and I am not a lawyer or even internet savy, but I am looking into options of preventing harassment of someone I know via text messages. So do your own research.
Assuming you are not just covering your a$$ and,
Assuming the person on myspace is "pretending to be you" this is serious IMHO. It could be considered "cyberbulling" or even fraud or "identity theft". Verify they are pretending to be you and are not your long lost twin separated at birth or some other strange coincidence. Do not harass or have others harass this individual on your behalf, incase you are wrong.
From what I can tell these are relatively new problems, so many jurisdictions are just now introducing laws to stop this. Fraud is as old as time, so there is always that one, and it is probably the easiest to prove. My understanding is if they have one actual picture of you and are claiming to be you, or use an actual email address, phone number… of yours, it could be fraud .
You perceive this as a malicious act. IMHO, you should verify this is not a friend pulling some prank, and then you should contact the police, local, state, federal… until you find one with jurisdiction. I would contact myspace again and ask them how you go about proving who you are and that this person is “fraudulently” representing themselves as yourself. Use the word “fraud”, “identity theft” and/or “cyberbulling” in your email to let them know you are serious.
To what ends is this person poising as you? Nip this before you find out why.
