Funny story that I should add:
In 2003 someone tried to get me to join Quickstar, a new initiative from Amway. (It's now been merged into Amway.)
I gave them "quickstar@..."
A few months later I got a cease-and-desist to the email address, and the moron who tried to get me involved called me up and started threatening me.
I had to explain to their lawyer what a catch-all is. Fortunately, he was a very reasonable person who very quickly realized that his company made a HUUUUUGE mistake.
- 0des 5y agoThat type of behavior is grounds for an IRL meetup.
- lostcolony 5y agoNever had a lawsuit, but yeah, it's interesting to see who it trips up. I'm pretty sure I lost out on a job opportunity with a high profile company because the email I used was (company)@(my domain), and I got asked by an insurance agent to confirm I wasn't an employee of their company when I had (their company)@(my domain), which he indicated was because of the email address. Go figure.
