Paging wally

Someone on Instagram is using your name and pictures going by the user name roriwew521. Just a heads up. 

I received a follow request from them a couple of days ago and reported the account for impersonation. They then sent me a message in Engrish. The team at IG must be too busy with fact-checking to take care of such things, but maybe they'll do something if enough of us report it.

In reply to Nick Comstock :

I've been reporting them for a couple days too. I don't want to be me and am baffled why someone else would.  

Social media scares me for this reason. 

I never post my face online and don't have any accounts anywhere. Of someone sees me out there, it's not me.

So what's the angle?  Is he getting all the Wally women to like his photos?

Friend all of his friends, then spam them all "Hey, I'm in a bind and my credit card declined and I need $100 for a tow truck - can you send it to me via this obscure Turkmenistani app and I'll pay you back tomorrow?"

They spam that to 200 people, 4 of his elderly friends bite, the scammer has $400, and moves on to impersonate Nick Comstock and do the same thing with his friends.

Damn I'm not smart enough to be a thief.

Ran across this story, apparently law enforcement also has a hard time telling Instagram impersonators from the real person:
