Well I sent an e-mail and two follow-ups to the contact address for the site. I also posted replies to the two photos indicating they were fraudulent and left posts in two different forums on the site.
When I just looked a minute ago the pages had been deleted. Good. Now, this guy may actually be a neighbor... wouldn't that be fun??? His profile lists him as living at Wilderness Ranch Mountain. Now as far as I know, there is no such place. However Wilderness Ranch happens to be the name of the rural subdivision. I'm going to check the subdivision phone book tonight. Maybe I can throw a dead skunk on his roof or something.
