    It's an enemy you haven't met yet.

      Not that I use the account much, but it's a minor irritation. Especially as the T&C don't say "real name" but "name you are known by".

      Anyway, just thought I'd warn others who might not be using their legal name.
      I had the same issue last year - someone (could have been anyone not necessarily anyone on my friends list) anonymously grassed me up to FB. I used a pseudonym that anyone who knows me would have recognised, but people just trawling wouldn't.

      I was a bit p*****d of with it at the time as it was useful to keep in touch with old mates. Don't really care now TBH. I refuse to use my real name on the internet.

      Don't let it bug you too much - there's some right sad s out there.

        pictures or it didn't happen. We know you don't have any.

          I did put the word in quotes. What more do you want? Perhaps I might create a new account : Nick G Dough.

                    I thought your real name was Thomas Neuwirth. Are you telling me that's made up?

                      This happened to me. I made the mistake of making a comment that criticised a prospective Labour MP which resulted in my FB being assaulted by left-wing attack dogs. Proving my name was a royal pain, as my account name was similar in style to John 'Johno' Smith. In the end FB accepted John Johno Smith but insisted that the single quotes got removed. What petty winkers
