With the amount of accessibility to shopping, banking, and other money management online, it's not surprising that some stranger on the internet is able to take your data! You don't even necessarily need to fall prey to some Nigerian prince scam - Emilia is a big fan of food delivery services like Grubhub and Doordash; when she started getting electronic receipts every other day from the two services without placing an order, she started to get suspicious. Worse yet, when her bank (in the States) contacted her regarding suspicious activity, she'd seen her entire Season 60 balance taken out for some kind of "training camp"! When reaching out and contacting the organizers, she discovered that an olive-skinned elderly man had been using her name to get appearances with minor celebrities and other pro sports players! The nerve!
Thankfully she contacted the appropriate authorities and managed to recover some of her salary (which she then spent on her own actual SHL training camp). But how did someone who looks nothing like her manage to attend expensive in-person events without getting their identity verified? I guess it is 2021... Thanks @Amidships!
