How do they know they have the right person?
Seems sort of like having a no-fly list based on name and putting someone named Ali on it... Even if it seemed legit to use this sort of info (which I don't), the potential for incorrect info seems significant.
The term "identity theft" now also includes having someone make a Facebook account with your name...
