I had the unfortunate experience of this when my former company's designation for my position included "engineer". I received a email from a state regulator (who was a PE) informing me of the state regs and he CC'd the state liscensure board. Needless to say, I corrected my title and am in the process (5 years in PA) of getting those extra letters after my name.
