Hello,
in 2008 I used MySpace while I lived in the States. In 2009 I moved back to Germany and I do not need this account anymore. I do not have the passport anymore, neither the email address.
However, I tried sending an email to support@ myspace.com and it didnt go through.
I am kindly asking to delete my account ASAP as the companies do not like to see employees with those visible accounts. It is very urgent and important!
Please get back to me here: grigi@ gmx.net
My account is: myspace.com/171496775
Thanks a lot.

Dear MySpace team,
My name is Mona Ivinskis.
I have just recently come across my old MySpace account and I would like to delete it.
Unfortunately, I cannot access the account as I do not know my username or password.
I am also not sure which email address I used to create the account.
I have tried various email addresses but never received the link to reset the password.
This is the URL to the account: myspace.com/211646365
I would appreciate it if you could delete this account and confirm to me once you do so.
Please let me know if you require any more information.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Mona Ivinskis
Jeffery Brian Bahry says
My name is Jeffery Brian Bahry.
In 2008 – Me – my mother – family came under severe attack from an individual
using high technology psychotronic and electromagnetic weapons.
An investigation led to an internet Myspace that this same terrorist wrote – arranged – posted and was using in March 2010.
myspace.com/grimreapper1988 – the real Greg Brady
I reported this individuals Myspace identity to the FBI on April 29, 2010.
FBI Public Leads Crime and Terrorism Tip # 11796 (61026 char. remain)
The FBI has not responded to this matter. I remain under high technology weapons attack
and verbal death threats made to me – mother – family by this same individual.
I am trying to find out the registered name of the individual of that Myspace.
Please write to me concerning what I would have to do in order to obtain that information.
This is an extremely important matter.
Thank you.

Carmanta Ridley says
To whom this may concern:
My name is Carmanta’ Ridley and a couple of years ago I owned a myspace account. This was when I around the age of 11-13 years old. However, with me now being 21 years old, there are a couple of photos that pop up on google images in which are pretty inappropriate pictures. I’ve forgotten my user name and password to my account and would like to deactivate it and also find a way to have the photos removed. It would mean so much! I am now starting to apply to careers after I graduate college, but that last thing I want is for someone to google my name and find all these images from my myspace account.
In addition, it has photos posted of myspace friends, relatives, and a couple other images in which shouldn’t pop up on google when someone searches my name!
If someone could help me that would be greatly appreciated!
Hope to hear from you,
Carmanta’ Ridley
