I received a bill years ago that was owed by a person whose name 
differed from mine only by the middle name. This was about twenty years 
ago, and was not so much a case of fraud as it was of stupidity of the 
lender. After all was straitened out, I dropped the line of credit at 
the 'large chain electronics store' and kept a minimum of C/C's after that.
