I think we can add this: check to see if this account has staked address yet
It may seem rare but it may be a case, some users have been inactive for a long time, after that his account was hacked and email, password were changed without his knowledge. The current account owner can buy a hacked account, the account has been staked and then stake address again.

Please, before you quote and verifying the messages, make a little research of the account staking the address.
Not once or twice I manage to find sold/hacked accounts.
There are a few simple steps you can go trough:
- Check the trust feedback,
- Check for password reset and email change.
- Check for big posting gaps.
- Check for change in the posting behavior (language).
- Find some addresses posted in the past and request a signed message
Those are, most of the time, indications ( but not proof) that the account might have changed hands.
Sometimes when there are many indications I leave a neutral feedback with a warning to the others.
