An amusing anecdote from someone on the other side of this story... A friend of mine has first@fullname.co.uk, and he's forever getting email intended for first@fullname.com (who is someone entirely different, also in the UK, and works in the military). One day my friend books a flight and accidentally uses first@fullname.com. He doesn't realise anything is wrong as the flight still shows up in the app. However, the owner of first@fullname.com also sees the flight confirmation and thinks there's some identity fraud going on, so phones it in to the police. So my friend gets to the airport and scans his passport at the boarding gate, but is met with a big red exclamation mark. Next thing he knows, he's flanked by two armed officers who take him away for questioning for an hour! After working out the mix-up, my friend sent a note to first@fullname.com thanking them for the welcome committee. |
