[ARC5] Theft of a name. A thief stole Bruce's name and is using it. Grrr!

[Peter Gottlieb]

Very common. Most of those I’ve seen are not actually from who you think they are, at all, but just using their name. This is the result of various past hacking incidents. Always be cautious. 

Tracking is now becoming in the realm of hacking as well. My spam filtering is pretty good but I recently went on a business trip to a distant city and all of a sudden I get spam from Ashley Madison and other “find locals” sites. Ok, that’s Google for you, but I also started getting location specific phishing scam emails as well and those I assume are not google-sanctioned.
