Con artists routinely use the names and identities of real people and legitimate businesses in their scams. The people being named have nothing to do with the scam, of course: they are victims of the scammers just as you will be if you take the bait. Here is a familiar “plane crash scam” that makes use of a real attorney’s name and the name of a real person who did actually die in a plane crash. The scammer sending this message has no actual connection with either of them: he has just stolen their names and is using them to advance his own crooked purposes.
