phoney gymnasts on Facebook

PA Women’s Gymnastics:

A word of caution to all gymnasts and parents of gymnasts around the state. There is an individual going by the name of Jennifer Messelier contacting gymnasts through Facebook pretending to be a gymnast and trying to get them to “friend” “her”.

This person is either claiming to have met them at a competition, or saying that “she” is considering switching to their gym. Please be aware that this person is most definitely not who they say they are and in all likelihood is a man. …

Beware of a “Jennifer Messelier” contact via Facebook

Update:

… i was just informed that “he/she” is now going by the name “Jennifer Elizabeth“, and the picture is of a sitting pose on the beam. Beware, she is adding college girls from all over the country…

Apparently the loser behind this fb page was banned from both ggmb and the chalkbulket for asking for pictures of gymnasts. *MAJOR CREEP*

There was also a poster on IG about a year or so ago who joined, and immediately started asking for pictures of gymnast’s abs. Through some stealthy internet stalking, we found he was linked to another site that focused on young female’s muscles? This person had posted all of the gymnasts pictures he had found on this other site. It was pretty horrifying.

This is why I am strongly against “hottest/cutest” gymnast threads. You never know what kind of creeps are out there.
