So what's going to happen is that 2 of the same person show up to the plane... and the copy cat goes on the plane and then you check in, and they say, nope, not you. And then you pull your passport. And then they go get the other person off the plane.

The scammer may have changed the flight time but it's still the original name and ID on the ticket. The scammer would have to fake your passport to be able to onboard as yourself. That's a pretty high bar.

And if the scammer moves your fare to an earlier flight, they get away and your ticket is void when you show up.

Chances are they'll figure this out before the flight in question lands, and have someone to arrest the scammer at the destination.

At worst, the company is a flight seat in the loss. Is this really worth protecting?
