Seems normal right? here is the reply on November 12:

I am doing this because I am looking for work and trying to move my life forward. Sadly, this was a hopeful job prospect and a $9/hr pay cut from what was making. Now I am spending this time to hopefully help some people avoid credit card fraud and/or identity theft. I believe this needs to be brought to justice. I sincerly hope it helps and holds the criminals accountable for there actions.
