Hi……My name is Patrick Okey and I was shocked to see my name has been pirated by someone to use in their scam efforts. I would greatly appreciate any info you can share with me regarding the scam. Thanks much…..Patrick
Hi Patrick,
yes, that is bad news because it will shed a bad light on you. This happens quite often, some people’s names are deliberately used because they are well known, such as African politicians or billionaires. Others are just coincidental use of a name, which has probably happened in your case.
I recommend you set up an Alert by Google or other service to see if the usage of your name will be detrimental to you. If you find yourself generally having problems because of the Africans using your name, contact me again. We can put up a report or interview to explain the situation.
Michael
