A comment on Battle with Bots Prompts Mass Purge of Amazon, Apple Employee Accounts on Linke. Parent comment
This is part of setting up ID thefts, or scams.
I know of several (directly, not just one secondhand anecdote) people that had a huge mess, when someone used their identities for criminal behavior.
