I was a early gmail person and got a good username. I’ve had the following happen:
- An Attorney send me surveillance video of a accident involving a company bus.
- Lots of spam associated with a guy who test drives cars every weekend.
- Some factory manager sent a zip file with a vpn client, and a list of passwords.
I could go on.
In only one case, do I know the "correct" email address and I notify the banks and realtors of his correct email address. (It helps that he is in South Africa, so the .za is usually a giveaway.) For the singer/songwriter, I've actually been asked for my opinion on a song demo. For the company financials, they actually ignored me and told me they had the correct email address until I told them I was not "Josh." (I had to look them up and find out who was on the Board.)
