Personalities lauded veteran actor Mon Confiado for filing a cybercrime complaint against a content creator for using his name in a “copypasta” post. The “High Street” actor on Monday told Jeff Jacinto , also known as “ Ileiad ” on Facebook, that he filed the complaint to teach him a lesson after the online personality claimed Mon attempted to shoplift and exhibited a rude behavior in a grocery store. Ileiad, whose page can no longer be found on the platform, claimed of meeting the actor in a grocery and being brushed off.
His post also claimed that Mon attempted to walk out of the store with about “fifteen Milky Ways,” but was stopped by a cashier who told him to pay. Milky Way is a chocolate bar. Ileiad wrote that the actor eventually went to the counter but continued to exhibit rude behavior toward the cashier.
Mon commented that the content creator was “ruining” his name, even if the post was a joke or a “copypasta.” He added that the incident “never happened” and that it was “not funny.” The actor also shared a screengrab of a message he had with Ileiad, who apologized.
Mon, however, was livid as the content impacted his image as a public figure. RELATED: Mon Confiado to sue content creator over false claims A “copypasta” is a block of text copied and pasted on the internet for wide circulation. The text can be a story, an antidote, or a joke, among others.
