EEVblog Impersonation SCAM!

[ebastler]

And this page gives plenty of official @gmail.com addresses for Dave and EEVblog:
https://www.eevblog.com/about/contact/

Again, and for the last time, that's for sending email to me.
When you get a reply it will come from @eevblog.com

Sure. And that's clear as mud to anyone who might want to check the viability of the sender address of an email which claims to come from you.

They are all listed on my damn website in the Contact page, as well as being blatantly obvious to even Stevie Wonder that @eevblog.com is my official website.
It's extremely common practice for people to have multiple domain emails these days, and anyone with any modicum of intelligence knows this.

Not sure why you feel the need to face-palm me and question my intelligence. I don't think I have insulted you in any similar way.

It was you who got excited about the impersonation scam (understandably so), and there is no doubt that your generous use of generic gmail addresses does not help to provide clarity to email recipients. Frankly, I don't understand why you don't transition to "@eevblog.com" addresses throughout. They provide a "seal of authenticity", and help your brand.

Because you keep harping on about it, as if it's I'm doomed if I don't use only my own eevblog.com domain.

Here you go again...
I could, but I won't, just to annoy some people

Perhaps they wouldn't have fallen for @hotmail because @gmail is more popular and raises fewer eyebrows.

But here's the problem: you can use your own email all day long and unless you become a world famous gmail hater, people will still assume that name@gmail is yours. And even if you are a gmail hater not everybody will know about it.

I have a name@gmail account which sometimes receives other people's mail because somebody sends it to name@gmail instead of name@somethingelse

Most likely you will entertain them instead.
p.s. Seems like my previous post "just disappeared". Fun!

That guy is showing too many fingers.

That guy is showing too many fingers.

That guy is Doug Henning, THE 70's hippy magician. He shows precisely the number of fingers intended.

WYSIWYG   Thank you and your mods for excellent job here. Many forums can learn from EEVblog. I truly mean it.

I 'Thought' I had a bad day, for 127 reasons beyond my current control...
However, I feel a lot better now!!     Seinfeld once said...
"Laughter is like a small island of relief, amongst all the things in life, that
we just don't want to know about!"...
So I find humor in the little things, in the short time I have left!!

Let's face it, if the company didn't verify the email address and the content wasn't covered under a signed NDA then it wasn't very "secret"... Just saying
