I am a seventy year old professional gambler and have been involved mainly in horse racing for some fifty years
My partner regularly uses an internet forum site gg.com on which views and selections are exchanged. Yesterday she brought to my attention that an individual had just joined the site with a surname and initial that are identical my name
As my partner is not fluent in English I sent a message to the new individual on her behalf requsting that he does not use my surname and initial as I am well known in the industry and it would inevitably result in readers beieving it is me. I recieved a response but regretably it was to the effect that he is not prepared to change the name he uses on the site
I then sent a message to the admin dept in which I gave what I consider to be a comparison. I suggested that if an individual whose name happened to be David Cameron was working in the House of Commons would he be allowed to post notices on the notice board bearing in mind that his views were likely to be in direct contrast to those of the Prime Minister
Idiscuss my selection with a small circle of colleagues on a highly confidential basis and then I usually back those horses with leading bookmakers with whom I have held accounts for many years. I am convinced that it would be highly detrimental to my reputation in instances in which I have recieved or provided information only for my contacts and bookmakers to see that I had posted a ttotally different selection on a forum site
This matter is causing me great concern and I sincerely trust that you will appreciate my anxiety
(in this industry horse racing it is only one big name (mine) Regards
