This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

    Cool story. So … why do you think they think that you’re the infamous sex trafficker Andrew Tate?

      My thoughts? They probably don’t, but they’re hitting the email address just in case. The mixup is somewhat common, I receive marketing newsletters and outreach a couple times a week to that alias that have the “to” name set to “Andrew Tate”- pretty good indicator of who they’re trying to contact
