I once received a request to hack a load of different companies' client databases due to one of my posts in the HN "Seeking freelancer" job threads, pretty much well solely because "Hacker" is in the site's title. Bless him, the guy mostly kept on signing off his emails as "John," having forgotten to change his name in the "From" field, except for the time he forgot and signed his "real" name again. (I say "emails" - it was a bizarre few exchanges, starting with "I have a job for you," and myself replying to his opaque emails to find out quite what on earth the guy was on about)
