That is exactly what scared me away from chat last time I tried it out (I was on last night - I mean, before then.). I got on and people were pretending to be other people - and I felt like a real dim bulb for being fooled. I figured I'd missed some memo or wasn't quick enough at picking up clues, and thought screw this, I'll just stick to regular forum posting.
Then again, people use sock puppets on the forum all the time, so I guess it's just like a box of chocolates. The kind that doesn't come with a guide telling you whether it's vanilla or cherry nougat. Whatcha gonna do? Just take a bite and spit it out if you don't like it.
