Britain's Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson's sister has fallen victim to internet identity theft.
The duchess' older sister Jane Ferguson - who moved to Australia in the late 70s - has been impersonated in a cheeky personal profile on social networking site Myspace.
The unknown imposter, who calls herself "Lady Jane", has posted photos of the duchess' sister, including one with her daughter, Ayesha Makim, when she was a child.
In the "about me" section of the page, the phony Jane writes: "I was born into British Aristocratic circles. I grew up with my sister Sarah Ferguson in the highly respected polo circles of England. I often mixed with royalty and visited Windsor Castle."
She proclaims she signed up to the site to find a "serious relationship" and meet "friendly people".
Her online friends include Hilary Clinton, British singer Eva Katzler, Australian star Bessie Bardot and series of teenage girls making pouty faces.
The real Jane - who is 51 and has never been titled Lady - told Britain's Daily Express: "I have never joined Myspace, Facebook or any of those internet sites due to imposters, which that person clearly is. I do hope you can stop this and report it to the authorities please."
The duchess has also had computer-related problems lately. Her laptop was stolen in December during a burglary at a studio in Hertfordshire, England.
Ferguson was reportedly distraught about the theft, as the computer contained sensitive family photographs of her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and ex-husband Prince Andrew.
A source said: "They are personal images taken by the duchess and she desperately wants them back. The photographs are of a sensitive nature so she can't just take them along to her local shop to be printed."
