FB Friend Request from "Grace Potter"

[Trish]

Received a Facebook friend request from "Grace Potter" on Tuesday night. Easily searchable on Facebook to find this page, although I can send you a link if you can't get to it. Not legit I'm sure, but a hundred or so people have "friended" this page and some are posting comments on it believing they are talking to Grace and that "Grace" is commenting back. Just alerting the powers that be in case there's anything you can and want to do about it.

pretty sure i already contacted the useless folks at facebook about this one but perhaps it's a new one. please link it, if you don't mind.

Here you go, Nate. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=100002385972994

As I said, I discovered it because whoever is controlling this page sent a FB friend request to me and presumably many others who in some way had a FB connection to an official GPN fan site. Lots of folks are posting on the wall thinking they are talking to Grace and the page also comes up right away in a search for Grace Potter, which might cause new fans to miss the official page.

I reported it as "pretending to be a celebrity" yesterday (report/block link in the lower left), but hopefully there's a more effective way you can address it.

it might be based on quantity of complaints, in which case i would encourage everyone to report the page as impersonating a celebrity. couldn't hurt.
