Identity theft/fraud (1 Viewer)

[nonemoreblack]

This is an odd one. Not really the classic identity theft but read on and see if what you think.

At work today I got a phone call from a woman asking for me, not by my known name but a little used alias. ie not the name most people know me by. After some confusion it turns out I had met her in a professional manner two years ago. The day after we originally met I got an email from her saying she enjoyed meeting me, blah blah blah, and that was it.

This morning I found out that someone has been corresponding with her through a fake gmail posing as me. This has been going on for TWO years! She only phoned my work because an email bounced back from the fraudulent account and she said she was getting worried because she hadn't heard from me in 5 days! I am guessing she has formed some sort of internet relationship with this guy.

Besides being totally freaked out by this, it also makes me worry about this guy's motives and whether he is doing to either harm me or (more worryingly) try to lure her into some kind of sordid situation.

I have already determined that google (he has a gmail acount) are powerless or prehaps unwilling to do anything about this guy. I also suspect the Gards will be their usual useless selves.

Any ideas?
It's most likely that this person is either someone I have worked with or someone that she works with.

unrelated, but a few years back i got sent a password reset for someone elses account, so being a decent person i immediateley logged into it, and found out they were a prostitute selling wares via gmail.

Did you warn the woman that it wasn't you she was corresponding with?

I just hope that she hasn't lent the fake money or something.

Get her to organise to meet the guy then confront him?

But she met nonemoreblack before, so surely fakenonemoreblack won't agree to such a thing.
What's he been saying to her?

Is she hot?

Fixed that for you

So after sealing the deal you explained that it had been someone else corresponding with her?

Am I the only one who wants to know what the ' little used alias' is?

 

[washingcattle]

Yeah if you invent an alias you're asking for trouble. If there's a chance that this person can cause you any trouble you might need to change some passwords and kill your alias forever. Sounds like a Ray Liotta charachter, bet he's at home stripped to the waist bathed in odd blue light with beads of sweat running down his face right now. Best avoid all contact with him.

 

[washingcattle]

Oh Yeah and is she hot ?

 

[Thebeard]

Did anything come of this?

[nonemoreblack]

Hi,

Nothing more to report. I think the guy pretending to be me has slunk into the shaddows for good.

By the way the 'little used alias' is just an abreviation of my real name that I never use. So, it's not really made up.
