Well that was dodgy.

Originally shared by Alicia Smith

Well that was dodgy. Whitfords Volunteer Sea Rescue just telephoned me. They said that some one using my call sign just tried to log that they were leaving Hillarys with two people on board, but wouldn't say who they were, what vessel they were, or where they were going.

The operator thought it sounded odd, and looked up my details - noted I was a single person kayak and gave me a ring. 1.) What kind of dodgy life uses some one else's call sign? 2.) Why would you bother, as WVSR kindly accepts log ins even if you don't have a membership and will rescue you whether you're a member or not.
and 3.) If you don't tell them where you're going how the heck can they rescue you if you do fail to log out?

WVSR thought I should be aware someone is masquerading as me.

Weirdest identity theft ever.
