I'm forwarding this post from JC SUM on the Singapore Magic forums .

Hi,

This is magic-related because the incidents involve magic-related websites.

Just want to inform all that someone(s) has been posting and sending messages on-line but using/ signing off with my name. They are using the Internet to hide under the cloak of anonymity to tarnish other's name due to jealousy and personal insecurity because they are unable to achieve success or credibility. While these individuals feel that it creates negativity towards me, they just have no idea how poorly this reflects on them.

One case has happened to a webpage owned by David Lai from Malaysia, an excellent magician from Malaysia. He did the right thing by alerting me to the fact.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time someone has assumed my name to send out 'negative' messages. While I've come to accept that society is tainted by such individuals, it is nevertheless an annoyance. I'm reporting the matter to CID Technology Crimes Division and trying to secure IP addresses in order to pursue legal action.

For the record, I do not make one line comments of any kind in public forums, blogs, network pages etc. My posts are always substantial in length and any opinion/ comment I make is justified and backed up with facts or educated observations.

All my e-mail correspondents are addressed from my conceptmagic.biz e-mail account. I do not have any hotmail, yahoo, g-mail etc accounts.

If you see or receive a suspicious message apparently signed off by me, please let me know asap.

Thanks for your time.

J C

This sucks. I hope the CID takes this matter seriously. Just shows how far the magic world has fallen.

Hi All,

Here is an update:

Through third party investigtions, we have discovered other incidents of identity fraud.

This post will include one such incident. The post under 'Comments' of a video was made using my name and website - I did not make this post. Incidentally, the comment was made on the same day as the comment on David Lai's webpage in the same tone and style. It does not take a genius to see that it is the same individual.

Click on the link below and/ or see the attached screen capture to the comment, apparently "made by me", and see if you find anything else interesting.

The good news is that we have been in contact with Metacafe to secure an IP address to match with other known IP addresses that we already have.

As I know the individual who has made these comments visits SMC, I'm giving him a chance to contact me personally to resolve this issue before it needs to be escalated any further. I will chalk it up to a mistake and honest unintention if the person approaches me with a sincere apology.

It is sad that productive time has to be wasted on such malicious and petty acts but hopefully this will deter others from trying the same thing.

Thanks for reading.

Best,

J C

From what i saw about the comment in the metacafe clip
The guy claimed that JCsum is a better magicians and posted his concept magic website in the comments
He did not claim that he himself is JCsum??
