Web site allows Internet users to look up and keep track of online dating aliases, instant message handles or other user names of deceptive or dangerous persons

SEATTLE, WA. October 29, 2007 – BadScreenNames.com today announced the availability of their online forum for people of all background and ages to discuss topics related to fraudsters who use the Internet to find their victims. The explosive growth of the Internet has been spurred by the convenience and anonymity afforded to users which has led to a growing number of uncomfortable situations or crimes committed by people masquerading as someone they were not.

Stories range from the humorous to the dangerous. Many online daters have experienced the pains of meeting people who had misrepresented themselves on their profiles. Other experiences are much deadlier in the form of pedophiles or rapists luring unsuspecting victims through instant messaging chat programs.

All of these share one attribute in common: the inability to check the reputation of the person you were dealing with.

BadScreenNames.com is the destination for Internet users to enter reviews or warnings of persons, and also the place where web surfers can look up information or reviews on who they are interacting with. The new forums add another live dimension of interaction between concerned members who can trade stories, tips and warnings to benefit all users.

BadScreenNames.com offers the ability to enter or view feedback on:

-instant messaging chat program “screen names”
-online message board or forum user names
-online dating site profiles
-social networking site profiles
-online video sites
-online Game sites

“As a parent, this idea was born out of a real-life situation I faced,” says Ernest Villamor, founder of BadScreenNames.com. “One day my wife discovered our 9 year old daughter chatting through a online Game site RuneScape and instant messaging with a person who was pretending to be her age, when in fact it was someone who was much older 42 years old. The anger and fear we feel had to be felt by others in our situation, yet there wasn’t a single web site that was a source to warn or be warned of these persons.”

“We hope that parents, children, teenagers, single women, business people, and anyone wanting peace of mind when using the Internet to meet people will find valuable information on our site. The Internet shouldn’t be a place where we fear to go.”
