Cookie Crumbs 2: Impudent Impersonation in a 2-for-1 Value PacksteemCreated with Sketch.

Sherlock Holmes Header

During my investigations on bigger cases, I will usually come across some small fish, too. Obvious cases, barely worth mentioning, but to keep you entertained, i will present some of them to you as "Cookie Crumbs".

Accusation:

@denmarkguy left a comment on my previous "Cookie Crumbs" post:

This is probably another "small potatoes" deal, but another impersonator. Pretty sure this is NOT the real Raven Riley (who's a fairly well-known porn star): https://steemit.com/@ravenrillay

The Findings:

reveal an incredibly brazen and amateurish attempt at profiting with false identities and stolen content, and it comes in a double-pack.

We need to look no further than @ravenrillay's introduction post.

Fortunately hardly anyone on steemit will fall for such an obviously doctored "verification" picture, and naturally @ravenrillay was immediately called out for her, let me quote @sift666, "load of HORSESHIT"

Common sense might make you think, the perpetrator would try to ignore the skeptics or get defensive about it, but no, @ravenrillay seemed to feel flattered by the skepticism and she happily admitted to editing the picture.

She was even warned she might get flagged for it, but that's no problem at all, she has a friend who can attest for her authenticity:

comments on @ravenrillay's introduction

It's always good to have a friend at your side, isn't it?

So, let's see who is vouching for this "load of horseshit":

@rashidminhas

a multitalented person: a mind-reader, a world-traveling magician and a painter!

the transformation of @rashidminhas

@rashidminhas has transformed himself many times in the few weeks he has been on steemit. He introduced himself as the mind-reader Rashid Minhas. About two weeks later he announces his world-tour, but he already looked a lot different than he did in his introduction. I am not sure what happened to his travel-plans since then, but he has instead shared the painting he has been working on in the meantime.

A little background check shows:

Pretty amazing: a father, a brother and the mind-reader himself, all embodied in this single steemit account.

Let's connect the dots

@ravenrillay and @rashidminhas both seem to admire Abdul Jabbar's art.

While @rashidminhas introduces Abdul as his brother and then his work as his own, @ravenrillay frequently shared the same artist's work as creations by her fiend "Jabbar from Malaysia". I guess pornographic actresses are not so good with geography, I'm sure she's just a bit confused about the countries.

But no, of course it's quite obvious that @ravenrillay is not really a porn-starlet, but she certainly makes a point about not being the brightest bulb on the shelf.

She also claims the work of another Pakistani artist, Nasrullah Baloch, to be the creation of her imaginary "Malaysian friend Jabbar". Not even the dumbest San Fernando Valley girl could be that confused!

Oh, and of course @ravenrillay and @rashidminhas resteem each other's posts frequently.

Because that's what good friends do!
