I got an email from Honestly showing me a picture of my wife, saying she is on Honestly. She was sitting next to me when I got the email, so I turned to her and asked: are you using Honestly? "Never heard of it" was her answer. Rarely has a company chosen a name so opposed to their values.

I'd be interested to know where did they obtain your wife's photo, and under what sort of terms/agreement are they using it? Does Facebook allow third party sites to use images for any use (I'm assuming the pic was from Facebook)? How is this (using a pic of your wife and claiming she's a member) not outright deception?

  I would guess it is just the gravatar image based on her email...
