Okay, this is a long thread.
Around 5 months ago, I was bored, so I went on a chatroom here in the UK. There, a girl talked to me, and we ended up trading MSN addresses. From then, I've talked to her regularly, and built a fairly strong friendship with her. She's American and living in the UK, and is going to be going back to the US in August, so with that in mind, we arranged to meet in July at some point, in London, where I was going to be staying. I'd been mulling over past pictures I've seen of her, and there was something niggling away at me that I couldn't place, but then I found what my suspicion was: she wasn't the girl I'd seen pictures of.
So, making use of Google's new reverse image search function, I reverse searched a picture of "her" that she sent to me; upon doing so, I was greeted with a whole host of posts on various forums and such that contained this girl. One of the pictures I'd seen of her was supposedly taken for my eyes only, and it was her in the bath (though only a head/shoulders shot, nothing saucy). That came up with a hit too. Turns out all the pictures I'd seen of her were lies, and most of them can be viewed by searching "Zoe Kimball Fakes" in Google images.
Now, that immediately interested me. I was a little upset at my trust being somewhat betrayed, but also intrigued as to who she is, and why she's pretending to be someone else. Most importantly, if she is pretending to be someone else, why would she arrange a meeting? Surely that would mean I'd find out that she was pretending to be someone else if this occurred? That got me thinking of a whole new line of possibilities, each more sinister than the last. If she was willing to go through with the meeting anyway, that could mean that her motives were somewhat different than I thought. I thought I was meeting her so we could spend some time together as friends before I'd never see her again, most likely, but since "she" isn't a real person, who would I be meeting? For all I, or anyone else, knows, I was going to get kidnapped or murdered, or something along those lines.
She hasn't been online for a few days, and I've only made the discovery within the last few hours.
What should I do? If I see her online again (and I'm beginning to think I won't), should I confront her? I'm personally thinking of trying to go through with the meeting, just so I can find out just what the fuck's happening here.
I've checked out her e-mail addresses through various methods and means, and none of them appear to be registered anywhere for anything. Facebook does not show anyone of her name living in where she told me she lives.
I'm sorry, this probably isn't suitable for here, but it's the only place I can think of posting it.
Thank you for reading and bearing with me. I know my writing isn't particularly great at this time of the morning.
