Even more likely is that they discovered that he has a valid email  
address and are using it to send spam. It is a simple thing to use  
somebody else's valid email address in the 'reply to' field and it  
helps bypass many ISP spam filters. This has happened to me and it is  
annoying and it is identity theft and it does not seem to get  
prosecuted much by the legal authorities. My ISP recommended that I  
just change my email address (the one I have been using since 1994).
