    Depending on who the company is and what they do, this would certainly be an approach to take if the OP wanted to take it further. He could phone the police and say someone claiming to be him was trying to get inside information on the company, and where people sit in the organisation etc and that it may be a "survey". Depends how hacked off the OP is?

      Could this not be construed as fraud/deception? This person is stealing your identity for personal gain (new contracts etc). I would want to take this further, don't know if the police would bother with it though.

        Thats true. He may do it again with a different ClientCo or use the same trick with a different contractor.

            Pretty grim and as already pointed out it's sailing pretty damn close to the wind in legal terms.

            I'd be livid if that happened to me, I've seen plenty of Agency sharp practice over the years, but that's awful.

              That was my first reaction.

              I was livid : but then thought "What can I do". After that I was calm and serene. Well relatively. Until the users started their barrage of stupid questions....
