Who do I have to message to identify a fake posing as a MSG here on RP?

Alleged “soldier” has conflicting info on his profile, claims to be a ranger but doesn’t know his class number, claims to have went to basic at Fort Worth (it only gets better). Further, the supposed SM is making his lack of military knowledge evident through his comments on discussions on this site. Pic of name and response to basic questions attached.

I would like to think RP would be free of this crap. So is this cat an actual SM embellishing his service or a fraud all together?

I went to Fort Worth once.
There were lots of Texas Rangers there.

1SG Private RallyPoint Member - I'm one of the senior site admins on here. I can look into this for you. Send me a link to his profile and I can take a look.

1SG Private RallyPoint Member Earlier this evening, I went to the profile of MSG Jeffery Hutchinson and clicked on three dots on his profile. Clicking on the dots brings up a screen that allows you to send a message to RallyPoint. I identified this MSG as a possible fake because his profile did not match up, and his responses were not that of a MSG. He was also too young. RallyPoint Administrators will take care of this guy along with the four star Army General.

And we’re all squared away. Thanks to the admin, SGT Ben Keen for a quick response.

Gary I don't give a shit what service you were with, what unit, MOS, rank, so on and so forth. In my book if you served honorably there is no reason to lie. I have no use for liars. I remember I heard someone try and make fun of cooks, I explained to the truth. My cooks are cooks but they also will strap a gun on get behind a machine gun do whatever is needed, plus cook. I don't care if you are a vet you are a vet but don't lie about it.

I am embarrassed to admit that I actually engaged in conversation with this guy. My “spidy sense” was telling me that something was a miss, but I ignored it. Lesson learned.

Thank you for getting this loser off the RP.

Class 428? Man, if people did a little bit of research they would actually sound like they knew what they were talking about.

Yeah that dude went to Basic at FT worth. Hahaha man what was that like! I will admit I don’t know my Ranger class number either. To me it was just a gate I had to pass through. I do know I graduated in August of 03. I could look up the class number if I wanted to but that’s not something I care to waste time to do.
