It's sad that people think they can get away with it too. Yes, we have people on here confirming accounts folks. The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content online is, the more important it is to verify their identity.
I have done what you have done multiple times, and I'll reach out to the real person for verification. Many times they are the real deal, but occasionally it's a fake profile. Kudos to you for checking into this one and getting an answer from the real guy!
Here's the promising new user information I share regarding verifying an account:
Account Verification
Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more.
The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using one of your other social media accounts. Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped.
The more famous a person is and the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify.
Thanks again, @truthforce, for being one of the Steemit Detectives keeping this place free of imposters and scammers! :)
