I was just wondering why facebook allows so many people to open facebook pages with Greyson's name and image. If you do a facebook search of "greyson chance" you get his real page along with ten or more that say "Greyson Chance" exactly. There are several more that say "Greyson Official", Greyson Chance official" or something similar. To me it seems that this could be dangerous to some trusting young girls. Not to mention posers giving Greyson a bad name. Even a search of GrAyson Chance yields many pages, some claiming to be "Official", with all the little girls posting letters to "Greyson". I'm just saying that this could be a bad thing. What do you think about this? And what, if anything, do you think should be done about it?

I don't really know what they could do about it, because technically people could really be named Greyson Chance. Of course, we all know that this isn't likely the case esp. if they are using Greyson's picture but it could be. I do wonder if Greyson, Inc. were to contact facebook if they would remove certain sites if asked to do so. I think that people / parents just need to make sure they are dealing with the official site which is fairly easy to tell if you know what to look for. I think it would be a good idea for Facebook to do a better job promoting which is the official site (like Twitter does w/ verified accounts). What does bother me is the Twitter twitter.com/greysonchancee who is essentially impersonating Greyson (I seriously doubt it is actually him). These two tweets are from some time ago and I haven't been following along w/ that person for a while now, but it is obvious that some fans think that it is really him. Here are the two tweets soliciting money... I don't know if people actually gave money, but it sounds like it and that is problematic. I DMed Greyson about it hoping that somebody on his team would see it and do something about it, but I doubt those messages are checked.

That's a shame :/ I hope Greysons team finds out about it.

Per: Greysonchancee The Facebook was deleted a few days ago but the twitter is still up and running.. a fan told me it was hacked (I doubt that) A lot of people (fans) have been following both the twitter and the Facebook of greysonchancee for a long time. I didn't at first but later I decided to to make up my own mind. I thought they both were fake but this one has been quite successful if that is the case. I had my doubts but I noticed that greysonchancee both on twitter AND Facebook had a LOT of information and said things that the official Facebook and official web site later confirmed. So how could this be?? Either it was Greyson or someone close to him or his management privy to that information? No one likes to be fooled or hoodwinked but if it's not Greyson why hadn't Greyson's management had it deleted long ago? The official Facebook is a band based one while the greysonchancee one is personal where interaction is showcased but a maximum 5,000 can become friends... "greysonchancee" says he made this one because he has more freedom on it then the official one. Sounds reasonable right? And if management allowed Greyson to have this "rogue" twitter and Facebook I can understand why they would deny or confirm it was legit. Greyson himself when asked in an interview if he had another or other accounts he simply said this: "I only have one official FB and twitter" Does he imply does not have any "unofficial" ones? If this "greysonchancee" is NOT Greyson, he is spending lots of time and effort (FULL time) to proxy for him and has considerable inside information! Sorry for the large pictures

Interesting once again. It is possible indeed as it must be hard to not be able to say what you want on your own twitter/facebook. I'll look onto this a bit more when i get home.

Haha, I did get "close" with Greyson on that facebook, and he knows alot about information that hasn't been released yet. I am a bit of a computer nerd, so I tracked his IP address 3 times.. once when he was supposed to be in DC, and the IP did show up as him being in DC. The other time, He was supposed to be in NYC, which again, showed he was actually in NYC. And last night, when he was on his way to Orlando, but this time it came up as "private". So it seems pretty real. Late last year, also, he posted a link saying that if you paid $1 he would become your husband, brother, sister, married to, in a relationship with, or whatever. The money went to a charity, and he posted a link which was connected directly to his official iTunes. He seems pretty real, but you can never be sure. But he DID confirm he was touring with Miranda Cosgrove this summer, on that facebook. In case anyone was wondering

Although i'm doubtful that @greysonchancee is actually Greyson, but non the less I tweeted him asking him to follow me on @greysonchance so I can know for sure. As he does say on his bio that he will follow anyone on greysonchance that follows greysonchancee.
Who knows ;p
Edit-
I just realized that @greysonchance follows @greysonchancee. This might help to say that they are the same person, however, it's still possible that @greysonchance was clicking Follow on anyone he saw tweet about him and not bothering to read tweets etc.

About one month ago I was looking at Greyson's wall on his fan page. There was a wall post y the name of greyson Micheal Chance the post was "my manger finally let me get a real Facebook, add me". I have that quote at the top of my head for days. I did not want to look at the page. I thought it might be an imposter.
djitiny, OMG. Thanks for telling us about the other tour with miranda. Looks like i'll be seeing greyson again!

In case anyone was wondering I also checked his IP address when he was supposed to be in LA (while he was doing chat) and that showed Redondo Beach (near LA) and I remember reading his apartment was right next to the beach...so perhaps it is/was real but of course until the real Greyson either denies or confirms we may never know?

I like the ip addy thing> Keep us posted. All I can tell you is I met & spoke with his tour manager "Lane" tonight & asked her about Facebook & Imposters. She made it clear that Greyson only has one facebook page. I asked her twice if there was anything they could do to protect , all those little girls from an imposter, but she said that there are so many that there is really nothing they can do but rely on parents.

I belive the twitter account greysonchancee is a real account. It's one where Greyson can interact with fans more. Look at some reccent tweets.

Can't do it on my antique cell phone. Also, can someone tell me more about how it works? I am ignorant on this topic.

You don't need to use Twitter on a cell phone Just go to Twitter and make an account. Once you do you can find the accounts of friends or people or things you like and 'Follow' them. If you are following them any of their tweets will come up in your 'Time Line', similar to a 'Wall' on FaceBook. You can also 'tweet someone' by simply making a tweet with their name in it, but with a "@" before the name. (i.e., "@greysonchance , Hello!) Your tweet will be shown to that person, and if they 'Retweet' you, the message will appear on that persons page. So it's kind of a goal to have someone you like retweet you, so then you know the person saw it and anyone who goes to the persons page can see the tweet. Theres a lot more, and sorry if that sounded confusing.
