So pointing out that putting an open bucket of fuel next to an active fire is indeed a hazard and you shouldn't stand close to it, is unnecessarily alarmist? Until it happens to you or your family mate. Identity theft and financial fraud can ruin your life and make it very hard to recover and you will be at the mercy of credit bureaus to help get it sorted as most law enforcement (and courts) in most countries to not give a damn about such issues - you will be bounced around as nobody has the true means to help. Making people aware of these issues is not alarmist.
