scam or stupidity?
Mar. 20th, 2019 09:29 pmHaving the second most common first name for a woman and the most common last name in Sweden makes you get a lot of weird e-mail. It appears that a lot of other Eva Anderssons can't fill in their own e-mail to save their lives. Or, people can't write their addresses properly.
I get replies to applications for flats and jobs, booking confirmations for flights, invitations to family gatherings or bridge tournaments etc etc.
Then, like all of us probably I get the normal phishing scams, companies sending order confirmations for things I've never ordered.
However, when I saw the name of the sender, I suspected that it was not a scam, but someone who doesn't know her own address - because if you want to scam someone you probably wouldn't choose the company name "Potatisonline" (potatoesonline) :) I thought it might be some kind of subscription of potatoes, but sadly no, it was someone with the same name as me who had ordered potatoes for planting.
