of my knowledge , it didn ’ t happen again . I felt violated , and while I was well known to be a mother in RL , one who is vehemently against anything criminal or unkind related to children or child avatars , I felt this situation had tinged my reputation . I was embarrassed to say the least ,” she concludes .
What to Do About it
The next time anyone asks you for money , take a very close look at their name and profile . I would go so far as to find that friend on your own friend ’ s list and initiate a chat directly . This way , you ’ ll know for sure it ’ s the right person . Let your friend know what is going on so they can also report this crime to Linden Labs .
If anyone tries to represent your community , sim , brand or group in a way other than how you deem acceptable , report it ! Then go on a publicity campaign to fix your image and defame that of the criminal . It is so important that none of us let this sort of thing go on free of any form of accountability ! If there ’ s no accountability , and no dire consequences from such behavior , then it will never end !
If we don ’ t report these things , Linden Labs can ’ t do anything about it .
To report any form of abuse , including a crime like this , go to the “ Help ” menu , then “ Report Abuse ” and fill out the form as instructed .
