This is not me! I dont flaunt accreditations, so think its unlikely I set
this account up. I havent been in Greece of late. I never use Opera. So I
assume we have a scam of some sort.
But can it be nipped in the bud?
I cant log into this account, it doesnt seem to use any familiar passwords.
"Password recovery" doesnt recognise my work emails (which is strange, how
did google know to contact me there?
Gmail security has an IMPERSONATION link that offers no help at all.
*Any advice?* And yes, i have written to "prof.ian.miles" asking for an
explanation.
