Guest ga****sj* Report post Posted July 20, 2014 Just wondering if anyone has seen a provider using her personal email address, but then listing her name as something different. With Facebook it so easy to look up someone. Very strange find. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Most likely an error. I used to have my work email forward to my personal email, so I would get the notifications on my phone. After accidentally responding from my personal email, I stopped having it forwarded. I would say, look at it as an error and just forget that you saw that name. I doubt she did it on purpose.

Very strange find. Cheers What is a "Very strange find"? You haven't stated that you found anything... Or have you? What is strange, is your post looking to find a provider who may have mistakenly used her real name. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to openly admit they have: a) have had contact with a provider using her "real" email; and b) trolling on Facebook to find them. Anyone vaguely admitting to that might find themselves being ostracized from the community. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 I once posted an ad on kijiji for some furniture I wanted to sell and used my Meg number by a mistake. The phone was off for a few hours but imagine my surprise when I had a ton of messages on it regarding the furniture. (I couldn't believe I wasn't getting any calls on my personal phone lol). Mistakes happen and I would hope that no one would use such a mistake to invade a lady's privacy! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ga****sj* Report post Posted July 20, 2014 Never used it to "stalk" the person. Assuming its a mistake and she will correct it soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JodyWild 4740 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 Maybe the person is not ashamed using there real email...every person is different..but agree it can throw a person off for sure..or maybe she really did make a mistake and will fix it.

cinelli 22184 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 I've seen newbs do it, and I always email them right away to change it! Happens more often than one would expect. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luckyme 41401 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 This had happened to me once due to oversight on her part. I informed her and at her request, it disappeared from my pc and my memory. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterat 20911 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 gambitsjs: See the response in the two previous posts. Kindly notify the provider and erase the error from your records. I note you joined in 2007 and that 2 of your 7 posts are on this thread, so you may not spend much time on cerb. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen people's emails, they see the part where they are creating the account asking for first name and last name, and automatically put in a real name, not just initials or their fake name. They aren't receiving the emails, they have no idea what the recipient sees. Letting them know asap is the right thing to do. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
