Last week I had an email from a fayetteville nc business lawyer asking me to call him. At first, I thought it surely had to be spam, but they used my last name (which not everyone knows). I am pretty skeptical on all emails, so instead I did a Google search and found that the law office did indeed exist and the attorney was ‘real’.
So I called them, mostly out of curiosity- and as it turns out a distant relative of mine (same last name) had contacted them, and when they searched the last name, they found my email address and thought I was them. They were really sweet and friendly and apologized for the mix-up. I was unable to offer them an email address on my relative as I haven’t talked to them in years (and didn’t know they lived in North Carolina), but wished them luck in finding her.
