            The continuing saga of receiving email for Sean Conner

I have another data point  for receiving email for other people named “Sean
Conner.” [1] This time, I received an email from a auto repair shop in
Wimauma, Florida [2], detailing work on my 2014 XXXXXXXXXXXXX with VIN
(Vehicle Identification Number) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and the Florida plate of
XXXXXX with XXXXXX miles on the odometer for a total amount of $XXXXXX. If
that level of detail isn't scary enough, I also learned of my phone number
(919) XXXXXXXX, which places me somewhere in Central North Carolina (I'm
guessing it was my parents' car getting repaired, most likely). Fortunately,
no credit card information was given out in the email notification.

Fortunately.

So, given this time I have a phone number, I decided to actually call myself
to discuss this email I received. Needless to say, Sean Conner was rather
confused at first getting a phone call from Sean Conner.

After we sorted out who was who, I asked Sean Conner for his actual email
address so I could forward the details of the car repair and for him to have
a discussion with XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. His email address was his name, with
what looks like two middle initials, and a large email provider that isn't
Gmail! (and it's not Microsoft either!) So it seems that XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
in Wimauma, Florida, just **assumed** Sean Conner of Central North Carolina's
email address was “[email protected]”.

I am without speech.
