These are some of my views on this digital marketing malarkey ... there's more on: AlanCharlesworth.com

Over the years – as you can see – I’ve added to this blog only sporadically. I decided to leave all the old posts ‘live’ as I think they can still be useful in helping folk understand digital marketing. Enjoy 😊

wrong address

There a bloke with the same name as me who - mistakenly - often gives out my email address as his own, so I get emails addressed to him [one included his home address, so I wrote to him explaining the situation - he ignored it so I delete anything that comes in on my email that is or him]. 

Anyhoo, one arrived today from a business email and before I deleted it I looked at the footer, which began with ...

This email and the information contained in it and in any attachments, are confidential and may be privileged. If you have received this email in error, please notify us immediately. If you are not the intended recipient, you are not authorised to, and must not use, disclose, copy, distribute, retain or rely on this email or any part of it.

Note how - according to them - it becomes my responsibility to meet their requirements even though they sent the email to my address. This is a commonly used email footer.
