I have one guy - I know EVERYTHING about him. I keep telling his contacts to let him know he keeps giving out the wrong address. We're talking very sensitive contractual stuff. I figure it's on him by now.
The best is when the lawyers get all official with me. Yeah, no - this is your mistake, don't get all uppity that you sent sensitive stuff to the wrong address.
From time to time I think about responding with a Goatse, but that's too much even for me.
I know everything about my email doppelganger except her real email address. To be fair, seems like she does not know it either.
I've matched some of them by googling ('a'..'z').each {|l| puts "first#{l}last@gmail.com"}
The one who handed out thousands of business cards, and who has the same MI as the start of our last name, has caused the most sensitive information to be sent to me, by far.
I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying you Google.
The first name and last name with each middle initial e.g. if you know they're John Smith then search for johnasmith@gmail.com, johnbsmith@gmail.com, etc.
Thank you, and fun fact: johnsmith@gmail.com is a special address that returns a 'does not exist' error.
My landlord does this. Every email, no matter how mundane, ends with an all caps warning that the information in it might be privileged or confidential, etc. and how I'm to delete it posthaste if I was not the intended recipient.
Like … I don't take orders from an email. You're basically begging to be uploaded to the Internet like that.
I mean, these are the same people who nickel and dime tenants for repairs the owners are legally responsible for, expecting to get it through bluster.
