I am going to have to shoot this down as a well intended defense of your friend/colleague.

a) nothing was found out about me from a quick search - the search she undertook were for details from a previous employer - which were given in the first place! As an example, let's say I worked at LBG Securities in Calgary (given information) but the resume said that I worked in Saskatchewan. A second example would be from a romanized spelling of an institution I worked at in Korea. Once again the location was given but it ended up on the resume in China.

In summary, it was extremely lazy and poor way to go about confirming information.

b) none of the information was about me.

You get what you pay for I guess.
