a girl made a email in my name and said mean things to someone else is that a crime?

Question

my sister inlaw made a email up in my name and sent it out .to people is that a crime?

Answer 1

You would have to prove that she did it. It could be considered Slander, Harassment, Identity Theft and possibly Fraud. You might call up a lawers office and ask what you should do. Who knows maybe you could sue and get some $$$ or at least a good apology and hopefully the removal of the email and crap.

Answer 2

It depends... if the emails were threatening or slanderous in nature, then yes, it would most likely be a crime. However, just impersonating someone on the internet is not a crime in and of itself, otherwise, most people who use the internet would be in the slammer :o)

Answer 3

The only way that could have happened is if she used your account or if she created one in your name. It is a form of identity theft. now whether it is against the law or not I don't know.

Answer 4

No it is not a crime,but it is rather childish.I recommend that you change your email name and add a password that only you know.

Answer 5

Identity Theft, you have to prove it! Then it is a crime!

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

hell no, quit being such a little ***** and say something back you pussy

Answer 8

MAYBE
