Oh dear. I would have LAID EGGS.

Not the same deal, but I had a collections company calling me up looking for someone who was decidedly NOT ME, though man alive were they ever convinced I was lying! Sorry dears, I am not nor have I ever been a 35 year old living in California whose cellphone account is in arrears. Sorry to ruin your day! At least in your spot, they're not giving you the "Oh no you don't, we know you're this person, now take thy lumps!" that I've been getting!

Oh. My. God. That is truly shocking. And I know, all the fuss about protecting people's privacy, and then this kind of thing!

Also, they're always telling us to "whistle blow" on people who are doing Bad Things (benefit fraud, etc), but if they're in the habit of just forwarding your email onto the person you're reporting, I don't think that's going to work out for them somehow! I did copy in the woman who had originally contacted them on my email: I figured she might be interested to know that they were sending her messages to random strangers, and presumably will send them to the person she was complaining about.

Oh, our government regularly lose people’s data and stuff like that. The email I was sent said that the “case” had been passed on to a “case officer”, though, so I’m just praying they’ve been competent enough to tell that person not to bother, or I’ll probably hear from them again in a few weeks!

I know: it’s so reassuring to know we’re in safe hands!

I almost DID faint – gave me quite a turn to discover I was apparently being “investigated” – sounds so sinister!

It did give me a horrible fright when I first started reading it. It’s good to have my name cleared, though – no taxi drivers here!

(Not that there’s anything wrong with taxi drivers, I feel compelled to point out…)
