It's not fair that they just forced their way into a position that they didn't have before.

This is a good opportunity to remind people to search yourself on the major search engines and take whatever steps necessary to remove your online presence.

My last name is such a common word, I don't pop up on anything.

Yeah I share a name with a famous comedian so it would be really hard to find me.

Bill Cosby?

That’s gotta be rough.

I'm not saying this couldn't happen, but this justdoesn't ring super true to me. How would the user know who the "identified individual" was, how they found the husband's information, or who they called (the "friend") at his company that's apparently in control of his employment? That's a lot of convenient coincidences that, even of they are true, would hardly be easily accessible information to make such a confident accusation.

If the employer is an University or something like that in a smaller state, and they called specifically about a policy change or something happening at the department of education, it could be relatively easy to happen, especially if they gave their name when calling the representative (which I guess you would).

give it a go. Try searching your name, number, address and see what you get.

It doesn't ring true because of the vagueness of the post.
