		<description>Having read that 'discussion' in question, I was just left shaking my head.
It would be almost laughable, if not for the very real problems that casual slander can cause.

Some people seem to be remarkably ignorant of the mechanism of these scams.
It is commonplace to use the identifying information of someone that is publicly known, has a good reputation, and readily available public details.
The scammer then alters these slightly for his own use, and to escape immediate detection.

A scammer does not slightly alter his own identity to leave a huge signature scrawled on an illegal act. This would be inexplicably moronic.
And to suggest that this is probable only reflects badly on the cognitive abilities of the accuser.

Now there's a lot of 'opinion' out there that's equally half-baked and ill-conceived, but casual accusations tainting a person's good name by association is particularly thoughtless and stupid.</description>
