I have just happened upon a character trying to steal my identity with the almost exact name, although I found this rather amusing at first as they had made quite a good copy of my face, i then noticed that the bio was identical and the corpname almost the same as my own. As I am currently running a lottery this could cause some problems for my customers. I have been told this is illegal can someone verify this is true?
Thank

It is a breach of the EULA // TOS // other rules to attempt to impersonate another existing player or attempt to impersonate any kind of CCP volunteer/employee (existing or invented).
Feel free to petition the character in question for name change and/or other punishments.

Are you sure there wasn't a mirror around? I made that mistake once, was rather embarrassing.

What Akita said. I had a guy impersonating me, reported it and within 1-2 hour he was nuked.

I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |

yupe, the advice given is sound. Report them. They always do this whenever someone high profile turns up with a reason for people to send him / her lots of isk.
God only knows how many Chribba imitators there must have been over the years

What was more embarassing, the ****ting yourself when you saw your face or the response after you petitioned it?
And to finish, thank you for reading my sig

The mirror thing, or the identity theft thing?

Just people making a mirror I guess, in an attempt to make me look like an idiot or something - as if I need a hand with that :)

the topic gave me a brain storm, identity theft as an in game thing, say you are a evil -10 bandito, having a high skill high failure mod that would let you steal an ID of another pod pilot and clone their signal or code or however identity is transmitted allowing you to infiltrate high sec, or slip by war opponents, go sneaky hauling in a pirate controlled low sec.

Not unless they claim that they are actually Leaving Eve.
As for OP, just petition it under character names, impersonation is an EULA violation and imposters will be dealth with. I have a fair share of petitions in that category.

Congratulations OP, you have made a copy of the real T'Amber good enough to fool the forums.
Petitioning the original for copying you is a masterful move.

I hate to say it, but with the most recent changes to the policy pages this is no longer illegal.
You're right that this used to be the case; creating a character with a too similar name, using zero instead of the letter o, uppercase, lowercase, the whole deal. It used to be classed under the clause of impersonating staff and peer players.
That clause has apparently been changed, the reference to players is gone now.
Short version: no longer illegal. Pray you get a GM who still thinks it is illegal.
This probably came from the move to the wiki, but who knows.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Naming_Policies
Character names may not:
Impersonate or parody any employee or representative of EVE Online, CCP, Customer support personnel or volunteers.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Terms_of_Service
# You may not impersonate or present yourself to be a representative of CCP or an EVE Online volunteer.
In both cases, impersonating or similarity to peer players is no longer a part of it. That's all. |

I'd think the EULA have the last word though:
Quote:
B. Passwords and Names
You will be asked to select a password during the registration process ("Password"). You may not disclose your Password to anyone or allow anyone to use your Password to access the System or play EVE. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password and for any damage, harm, lost or deleted characters, etc. resulting from your disclosure, or allowing the disclosure, of any Password, or from use by any person of your Password. You may not obtain, attempt to obtain, use or attempt to use the password of anyone else. You are responsible for remembering your Account information and Password.
You will be assigned a login name and a character name during the registration and character creation process. You may not allow anyone to use your login name or character name to access the System or play EVE. No player may use the character name of another player to impersonate or falsely represent his or her identity. You may not obtain, attempt to obtain, use or attempt to use the login name or character name of anyone else.
Imho that means it's not something they'll look kindly to...
