      Not from the US, nor a lawyer, but how is this not fraud?

      If someone pretends to be you, without your consent, is that not fraud?

      You can ask me to change my out of office email and threaten me with being fired if I don’t, but if you just do it anyway, how is that not fraud?

        Maybe not fraudulent, since it’s not asking for money, but I see where you’re coming from. I’m not sure if there’s any recourse for the employees affected - did they lose money (for example) because of that message?

      Call me when any future Democratic AG’s do anything to prosecute any of this.

      I’ll be holding my breath.
