    What a horrid thought. I think I better google my name and see what comes up. The problem is what can you do about it.

    I guess the only thing you really can do is establish a healthy online image for yourself which you have control of. At least you can then show who you are, and how you are not the same person.

    You'd never guess what's number one for myles dugenfelder on Google right now...

    And unfortunately there appears to be a perfectly genuine fellow of the same name. But to be honest you can spot the difference in the writing style without even trying that hard.

    Call me stupid, but where is the payoff for mr "miles of digging in the veld"?

    I received the well known UK Lottery scam not too long ago and, as I have UK lottery tickets, I asked for more info, thinking that I might actually be a winner!
    It wasn't long before the "you need to pay 3500 pounds sterling up front before we can issue the claim certificate" line set off the bells and whistles, needless to say I did win, 3500 Pounds that I just left in my own bank account and rather sent them an Interpol employee.
