Bizarre Emails

When you own “odd” domains you become accustomed to getting rather odd emails. Some of the emails are genuine. Some are simply weird.

Armchair.ie has nothing to do with furniture. You don’t need to be a genius to realise what the site is all about, yet every single day for the last two weeks I have got an email from a company in China offering me furniture. It’s not random furniture either. Each email has included a photo of the piece of furniture in question and they’ve all been some form of armchair.

Of course with some of the other domains that I own the emails are even more bizarre.

People seem to have issues typing email addresses, so I get emails destined for variants of the domains that I hold. (I usually let them know they’ve made a mistake)

The oddest one to date has been about an outstanding invoice for condoms! Since they wouldn’t accept that I had nothing to do with the domain’s former owner I ended up disabling all email for that domain.
