They can call another key with a similar name. :-)
It's not easy to answer that question, as it depends on your own system.
When you read a signed message, GPG provides a way to call automatically
the sender's public key on your designed servers, when it doesn't find it in
your PubRing; it goes on the Net, retrieves the key, incorporates it in your
KeyRing and than verifyes the signature on the message. This process can abort
if ID's doesn't match.
