This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

    I’ve explained this in the description and various comments but I suppose I’ll repeat it here, but I have an email alias that is essentially almost a typosquat of one he likely does use, so some marketing company likely stuck it in their list on accident and fed it to loads of other companies.

    This email is clearly automated but I did receive two more personalized outreach attempts last year, and I receive almost weekly personalized outreach from other companies due to the similarity in email. I know who they were intended for because they had a name set in the “to” field.

      Why not then post the personalized emails? This particular email just doesn’t look incriminating to me. Sure it is POSSIBLE that someone at Reddit specifically added him to the email list, but that’s hardly the most likely explanation.

        Because I wanted to share something I found humorous because of the context preceding it, but don’t have copies of that context anymore because it was so long ago.
