I've been busy recently so I haven't been on the net much as of late, but this is a matter that I'd appreciate everyone taking a second for.

I got an email from Lorna Bonyhadi this morning indicating that someone somewhere had been on the internet potentially trying to get money by posing as his son. Daniel and Lorna had no kids. So please be aware of that fact if by some chance anyone contacts a forum member asking for donations or anything else on Daniel's behalf.

Likewise, I know most of us are on a great deal of forums, if not as active posters, as observers. If you see anything similar, please notify me. I know Bony read and observed on many of the major car forums. I will be contacting Facebook to see about having his Facebook account removed for the same reason.

Lorna is doing well and appreciates all the calls, cards and emails, so please keep them coming. She's becoming addicted to the Crackberry just like Bony was! :cheers :biggrin

Where is this supposed 'son' claiming to be living? I'd be happy to check him out with my specialist medical equipment (hammer, pliers and barbed wire) if he's in the UK.

Most likely in Nigeria, Somalia or the Cayman Islands...

Actually I am his long lost son.

I've been planning to write for a while, and to include the paying in details too.

just wondering -- is this type of identity "theft" becoming common?

'Don't know that it's getting "common", but we heard about it more because of 24 hr media & the net.

I remember there have been cases of bozos claiming to be Kennedys and Rockefellers (using some made up first name) who have defrauded various hotels, businesses, and individuals by doing that.
