A man has opened up about what happened when he discovered his identity had been stolen online and used to contact dozens of women . At first , Jon Will Chambers , a freelance creative designer from Norwich , did n't think much of it when a stranger e-mailed him to say she had been speaking to a man online who was using his pictures under a different name . But it soon became clear that the problem went way deeper than just the one instance . Scroll down for video . Jon Will Chambers , 22 , has opened up about how an online impostor used his personal photos to talk to at least 20 girls and women over a period of five years . In fact , Jon discovered that at least 20 women and teenage girls had been tricked into communicating with the man , who used the fake name 'David Jones , ' ( not name actually used on the sites ) with a number of them led to believe they were in a romantic relationship with him . 'David ' was using recent pictures from Jon 's Facebook page as well as old ones from his deleted MySpace account in order to assume his identity and over a period of four to five years , he had sent thousands of emails using Jon 's pictures . He contacted women through dating sites , social media platforms and teenage forums , using several different email addresses and charming them with poetry and his supposed love of music . Even after Jon confronted them , some of the women did n't understand that he and 'David ' were not the same person . Speaking to MailOnline , Jon said : 'Some of the girls had been speaking to him for five years and thought they were in a relationship with `` me '' . 'That 's when things started to get creepy and strange but above all worrying as it was clear he was spending a lot of time talking to young girls using my identity . ' He tried contacting the police , but to no avail - they told him there is no law preventing people from taking his online pictures , since he had them on a public setting . Eventually , one of the women hacked into 'David 's ' account and discovered his true identity - a 65-year-old married man from the UK living in Spain . After Jon tracked him down online , 'David ' apologised , describing himself as 'just a sad lonely man ' and claiming that he was mentally unwell . Still , Jon felt that justice needed to be served - not just for him , but for the dozens of girls and women 'David ' had duped . So he tried contacting the police , but to no avail . He was sent to Action Fraud , which deals with internet crime , but they told him there was not much they could do about it . Their advice was to edit his privacy settings or take down his accounts altogether , but Jon did n't want to give his impostor that satisfaction . He said : 'They told me to just make my profiles private - that 's not a response , that 's just sticking your head in the sand and pretending it wo n't happen to the next person . ' I 'm not going to miss out on meeting new people , getting new business or being myself by not embracing social media or the 21st century . ' Despite the incident , Jon has decided not to let it affect his online life . He said : ' I do n't think you can live your life in fear of people doing bad things ' Instead , he believes it 's time law was updated in order to protect internet users from this kind of criminal behaviour . 'There was a clear and obvious pattern of grooming where he would take them from a public forum , to a private email , to speaking on Skype or on the phone , ' he said . 'That 's the most creepy thing and worrying behaviour about this - and the police still were n't interested despite all the evidence . ' I was worried that if this was just the tip of the iceberg - who was this man ? What would he do if I told the police ? 'Also , what would the family of these girls think of `` me '' despite the fact it was n't me doing all this - it was someone using my face . ' Jon has spent the last few months attempting to get all 15 of 'David 's ' fake social media profiles taken down , an arduous process that has yet to be completed . When Jon 's imposter was finally tracked down , he was revealed to be a pensioner in Spain ( Picture posed by model ) One social media site told him that his impostor didn ’ t break their 'community usage policy ' , while another never replied to his emails . Despite the fact that some of the fake accounts are still up to this day , Jon has decided not to let it affect his online life . He said : ' I 've met some of my closest friends online as well as an ex-boyfriend too . ' I do n't think you can live your life in fear of people doing bad things . '
