You are focusing on the "get free help" matter but if I understand
this correctly and all this is true then this can be seen as a case of
identity theft, which may even be subject to legal prosecution.  I
have to say I find impersonating someone else by (ab)using their email
address even worse than trying to get something for free from the
community.  Why on earth did you not use your own email account for
this?  This is such a great community and I am very sad seeing things
like this happening here.
