Title: On the internet, no-one is safe!
Post by: on Fri 15/08/2003 12:17:09
It's amazing who you can contact via email on the internet. Today at work I've been bored so I've been emailing people randomly - and getting responses.

And when I say, emailing randomly, I mean attempting to establish contact with people just by guessing their email address.

Currently, i've managed to contact Ron Gilbert, Charles Cecil and Hal Barwood, all through guessing.

The fun continues. Let's see who else I can pester simply because everyone uses firstname.lastname@companyname.com

After searching the net for a while, I found some famous peoples emails in which I got, "Where did you get this email!?! Never email here again of I'll sue your ass off!!!"

Britney Spears which was easy to find
Bill Gates who responded "Hi, I'm glad you like my programs! Never email here again!"
And that one forgien lady from the morning news on nbc :)

Though I'm shure these where all people faking it to be popular it was still funny... :)

I tried clark.kent@dailyplanet.com and I started getting all those damn chainletters and viruses from him. Also, his spelling is terrible.

People with jobs I suppose trap, company emails. And most people don't give away their job emails to friends so thus the first.last adresses are for colleagues only.
