I did this for years against a series of scam emails that kept getting through my spam filter somehow.
Then I found out there's a guy with the same first and last name as me, with an extremely similar email address. So "real" people had been getting his email address wrong, and I was trolling his would-be clients. 💀
I’ve had someone repeatedly put my email as their spouse’s email in important situations. I’ve replied multiple times asking them to stop but they keep doing it.
I have the same name as their spouse, but you’d think you’d know your spouse’s email, or at least talk to them about it when you get a reply saying it was the wrong email!
I have a fairly unusual, albeit not unheard of, first name. As far as I can tell, I'm sharing my first and last name with 5 or so people in the US. Back in 2008 or so I nabbed [email protected] (I also own www.firstlast.com haha). Every so often one of my brethren will use my email at dicks sporting goods or something. I always finish activating the account for them and sign them up for text alerts or something. Nothing evil. I figure they can just reply "stop" to opt out.
Sucks to be them lol
Oh my... I had a slightly similar incident. New phone number, had a bunch of random strangers texting me (some even calling!) asking for Ethan. My name is not Ethan, I didn't know who Ethan is
No idea what was on my mind back then, but I somehow got the contact info of this mysterious Ethan, called him (hilarity ensued since he got a call from someone on his contact list named "Me"), confirmed his up-to-date number, and promptly referred everyone looking for Ethan to the real person for over a year...
Life is strange sometimes
Somehow that's even funnier 😂
