This TikTok Imposter is the WORST!

[@cindyklint7385]

Hang in there! I’m a new subscriber. You & The CC are doing wonderful things with horses and creating fun and interesting content. Thank you.

[@angelaandreos9169]

FYI - tic tok’s days may be numbered. Congress may ban tik tok after Jan. I really don’t care since I don’t use it. Very Sad that some people don’t use their own God given talents but instead feel the need to steal those who are. Keep up the good work, Britta!👏

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

I hope you are right about Congress. I think TikTok has done quite a lot of damage to our country by spreading falsehoods as truth. And many people don't do their due diligence and dig any deeper.

[@MadddyDawn]

Some people just suck. They are basically stealing your life and profiting from it. I’ve seen quite a few of these imposter accounts and I try to report them for stolen content.

[@LTA42]

I’m so glad you came out and told us what had happened to you and The Clever Cowgirl. I watch you both. I couldn’t ever see you do something like that. I know what it’s liked to be hacked. You ladies stick together you have very similar interests and both are looking for bigger property. Hang in there.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Yeah, it’s so dumb! I’m glad she let me know. It’s really embarrassing for me to have someone smearing my name like that

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

A good part of why I like you and CC is because you both seem very transparent, straight forward, and honest in your communications. Anyone who follows you regularly would recognize the difference between your unique styles and an imposter eventually, I'd think. But I don't do social media at all, just KZbin. TikTok is not an atmosphere I want to be in. When I want to say I think someone is full of horsecrap, I say they got their degree from TikTok University.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Thank you! It is such frustrating thing 😕

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

@@TheProjectEquestrian Yes it is. I am dealing with someone stealing my personal info. It's not my creative work, but it's an assault on privacy non-the-less.

[@stardust949]

I saw earlier this week in a SHORT that CC posted-----she called out the Thief, and explained that You and She are both the victims here. I have been subscribed to both your channel, CCs, (and other horse-related channels as well) for over a year. EVERYONE knows that Clever Cowgirl is in Montana and Project Equestrian is in Vermont. I have BOYCOTTED TIK-TOK from its inception. One, because it's just good to Limit social media, period, and Two, because I read an article that Tik-Tok is out of China and that users will be running a high risk of Hackers, having that app. No one who has been a fan of yours or Clever Cowgirl's content would ever think you capable of theft. But Thank You for making this statement video. We live in a World that is run by Dark Souls, spreading confusion and disinformation----and nasty little bits of chaos, whenever they get a chance. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL AND YOUR HORSES AND YOUR FAMILY. BLESS*BLESS*BLESS.

It’s so disappointing people do this. I’m glad she noticed and let me know. It’s really embarrassing for me!

[@lostsailor2498]

KZbin will crack down in a NY minute, if it's something that goes against their narrative. But stolen content is really common, especially for "shorts", I'm sorry that happened to you.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

So true! I’m much prefer the long content. Short form in any platform seems to have a lot more theft.

[@terryvictor1]

I sure wish these platforms would take some responsibility and remove imposters.

[@ldirk58601]

Oh lord what a headache. Sad.

[@jasperstarr6804]

If I may say so - I think that, in this environment, every content creator needs to create an account on every single social media platform - whether they really want to participate there or not - in self defense. That would prevent someone else from usurping your identity like what happened to you. You would not need to actively participate on any platforms that don't interest you, just login once every couple of weeks, maybe post something occasionally. You might also consider embedding a watermark in your content that associates it with "The Project Equestrian", and you might need to put it someplace so that it would still show up if someone cropped larger format video down to a smaller (phone-sized) format. That would help you re-claim your content if some thief tries to steal your content and post in some account with some other name. I'm really sorry this happened to you - there are many such victims out there, and you happen to be among them. And BTW - FWIW, I've been a subscriber of The Clever Cowgirl for quite awhile now - and learning about this on her channel is what brought me to yours. I just subscribed. :)

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Yeah, that is what would’ve been one way to avoid. Although I was avoiding TikTok altogether😅ugh! It’s just not a pretty world 😅 thank you for subscribing!😊

You know, I didn't know when it happened, but happened to view a video from a year ago from Free Spirit Equestrian where someone stole her WHOLE account!

Would there be any way to legally challenge this person under identity theft? Bc we are living in a new technology world, there needs to be new laws to combat this type of theft and that won’t happen until a few KZbinrs ban together and bring a case up against these kinds of techie criminals. Disclaimer: I really don’t know how the KZbin community works, however, I just thought if a large enough group could bring this to the attention of law makers, there may be a way to write new laws to protecting your identity and content. We know u all work hard to build your channel, no one should be able to profit from your hard work!

[@tammysimons4916]

I can't help you or CC by reporting the imposter on Tik-Tok because I don't have it and don't ever plan on getting it. I don't know how big of a pain it is but please start putting a watermark on all your content. You may want to take a new pic for your profile, add a watermark, then change you're profile pic if you can. Since neither of you had Tik-Tok or watermarks it probably made it easier for them to steal your content. I just found you because of CC's video. So sorry this happened to you both. Wishing you the best.

[@Kim-lc3fv]

How can they do that in the first place??? I've never liked tiktok.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

It’s unfortunately way too easy. They just downloaded my photo and made a profile for me. Then they downloaded the videos or screen recorded them and uploaded the account 🤦‍♀️ And yeah, a lot of people do not like TikTok. It certainly brings a lot of problems. It also is a much more hostile environment. At least from what I have heard and understand😂

@@arieschick1 I follow her channel closely and her sudden absence seemed to be more than the difficulty dealing with Skeketor's death. Her work should have acknowledged that a horse's death as a part of the work she has chosen to be in. I was concerned for her well being due to her back or other issues. A simple brief reason for an absence should have been made. That this channel brought up another issue making my concern even more hi -lighted. ⾺

Clever Cowgirl, Free Spirit Equestrian, Nick Johnson channels have all been victims of theft by imposters on various platforms. Verify first before making false accusations.
