We all would like to believe it is that simple. I lived a dysfunctional relationship with Rust Consulting since 2005.
I am a strong privacy advocate, so I carefully scrutinize all unsolicited correspondence, and track down where the sender obtained my name, address, email, etc.
Let me point out some issues:
1. Since October of 2018, Rust Consulting has refused to disclose any information pertaining to the airline ticket(s) I was alleged to have purchased, and from which of the four airlines.
2. As previously stated, I was out of the country during the period cited in the tort.
3. When I received the letter, I immediately suspected identity theft, and wanted to know who had bought the airline tickets in my name. I contacted the only two airlines I had ever flown with. Neither have any record of past domestic flights purchased in my name. I have yet to contact the other two.
4. I have loyalty memberships with two of the airlines. They have only my address in Singapore. I have a bank account in Singapore. I use my Singapore issued American Express card to pay for airline tickets.
5. I have a long name. I often manipulate the spelling deliberately. My name, as shown on my passport, matches my birth certificate, but differs slightly from that on my driver’s license, etc. The airlines know me by how my name is spelled on my passport. All the letters from Rust Consulting were addressed to a spelling inconsistent with the spelling known to the airlines. The spelling used by Rust Consulting is consistent with a spelling I used with mail orders back in the mid 2000’s.
6. Rust Consulting sent the letter to my brother’s house. I only used that address for my driver’s license and my bank account while I resided in Singapore.
7. It took five months for Rust Consulting to agree to remove my name from the tort.
The only possible way that Rust Consulting could have received my name from one of the defendants is if someone used my identity to purchase an airline ticket, and fly. If that is the case, then I need to know and I must report this to the FBI, TSA, or whoever. Would you prefer I just forget about it as though I did not care that someone might be flying using a stolen identity?
