    Recently there has been several incidents on the internet involving "Fake Leehoms". The first involves an online blog on Sina. Suprisingly, even Sina did not catch that this individual was fake and actually claimed that this was Leehom's official Blog. The blog has already gotten over 800,000 hits and thousands of comments. However, to many's dissapointment SonyBMG warned fans that the site is a fake and that Leehom does not have a blog. Leehom usually leaves messages through his official site, www.wangleehom.com, where he released his "GMA Thank You Speech". The Sina blog fooled many Leehom fans who really thought it was Leehom because this "fake Leehom" also has posts in English. However, many overseas fans have pointed out that the level of English on Leehom's "Fake" blog is no where close to the fluency achieved by Leehom through his other message left on his official site.

    Leehom commented that, "The internet is a scary place, it's extremely easy to steal one's identity and claim it as oneself. I hope that in this day and age people are careful when it comes to believing such false claims. I don't own a blog. When I'm online, I sometimes visit my fanboards, I like to read suggestions and criticism from fans so I can improve my music. However, even then I rarely leave messages. I like to be anonymous."

    Another, even weirder blog is run by a girl named "Ai Er" She claims to be Leehom's girlfriend and claims that all of Leehom's songs are written for her. She updates her blog frequently describing dates she's been on with Leehom. Many people get a laugh from reading her blog and others called her "crazy" and "delusional"
