Over the last few years I have received dozens upon dozens of e-mail intended for another William Bowen. Friendly (and not so) messages from family, anti-Obama secret-Muslim screeds, off-color jokes, the occasional heartfelt plea for a prayer for this or that.
During all that time I would return a message saying, "I'm sorry, but you've mistaken me for someone else." I got a message back once from someone who screamed (All caps) that I shouldn't be "HACKING [HER] BROTHER'S EMAIL." I told her the FBI scans email for all caps. I have also received several notification from porn sites about my new memberships, insurance statements, the health benefits package links for a contractor working in DC, and even got the Verizon wireless bill for several months for a couple whose home address and was included right on the bill. I sent them a letter since I didn't have their email address. Got an email requesting that I sign the divorce papers and send them to [her] lawyer in some town in Virginia. I have only reset a few passwords. And not on the porn. I figure how bad off is this guy that's subscribing to GILF-porn and can't remember his own email address? :-) I say do it. Have fun. :-) On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 12:34 PM, C.
