that someone at the hotel you are booked in to is supplying these details. Think about it, only two places get all your details within the first couple of hours in Bali... Immigration and your Hotel check in staff. Unless by chance it is your Travel Agent forwarding details in advance??
Regardless of HOW someone got your info, the fact remains they DO HAVE IT, and one wonders, given the Indonesian ingenuity we all know, just what other scams might be thought up so that your details can be used... false identity? credit card details (if you pay at the foyer or VOA), do you hire a car or motor bike and show your driving licence?? The opportunities are endless, and it is Bali, so corruption is excusable and even allowed and expected.
