I made a fake account. Will i go to jail?

Postby madison86 » Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:52 pm

I'm 14 years old. I made a fake account on meetme.com
Also known as my yearbook. It was me and my friends idea. I haven't been meeting up with people or asking them for any personal information and only a couple of people have my number and actually know it's me. I had all fake pictures. i don't want to get in trouble and go to jail. this chick said that i was in violation of criminal law and i was reported to the police. Are the police coming to my house? Am I going to jail?

probably not.
just don't go spreading it around saying you did it,
like don't go posting questions on yahoo answers. lol
you'll be fine. don't worry.
and if they do come,
just deny it?

No. I know you're only young and don't know about this stuff, the most trouble you'll get in is from a random person complaining that you are using their pictures, and have the account deleted. That's it.
And if you do get done for some kind of serious criminal offence, you will go to juvenile hall, or juvy, not jail. Juvy actually isn't that bad, you can do crafts, painting, but you get crappy food and less than likely a good accommodation.

She might have just been saying that to scare you. Something like this happened to me before, and trust me, I was freaked. Nothing even happened in the end though. But if the police do talk to you, most likely nothing will happen. You already deleted the account, so don't think to much of it. Whatever happens, happens.

Lying about personal info on the Internet is a felony. That being said, don't worry about it. Only law enforcement are allowed to have equipment that locates someone by tracking. So she'd be violating the law also by having such a program. My advice is to just stop what you're doing. No problem. I got a funny story too. There were these two kids who filled out an Internet promo for free ice cream and lied about their birthdate. So when their fake person turned 18, after a couple of months, someone from the selective service came to ask why he wasn't signing up for the draft.
