I received detailed booking information about airline tickets purchased for
a trip to the Netherlands at Christmas.  The sender was a Dutch travel
agent.  There  was a second recipient with a Hotmail account and a name
similar to mine.  I wrote back to inform the agent of her error and
received an immediate reply insisting that I had booked the ticket.  Again,
the Hotmail account was cc'd.

I wrote back again, pointing out the error and tried to cc the Hotmail
account.  When I put that e-address into the CC address line, the address
was automatically and immediately replaced with the ticket agent's
address.  I tried several times, to no avail.  Oddly, I could (and did)
insert that same Hotmail address into the text of the message with it not
changing.

Since I began this note an hour ago, I have had one more exchange with the
travel agent.  She sent me a copy of the ticket. (And what a ticket!
London>Brisbane>HongKong>Dubai>Amsterdam)  Booked for December, no
indication of how is it being paid for.  That email was from the travel
agent, with a .nl origin.  It was forwarded by the agent, writing in Dutch,
and sent from the mysterious Hotmail address.  (Now looking back, I see ALL
the correspondence from the agent was from that same Hotmail address.)

Anyone ever encounter this?  Any idea what causes it?   Any insight would
be helpful.  I am concerned because my wallet was stolen last week.  I have
reported cards and ID missing, but am concerned that cleverer minds than
mine are creating work-arounds that will come back to haunt.  I have
informed to travel agent about the lost cards and ID.

Sorry about all the tangential details.  Not my intention to turn everyone
into a Miss Marple, but I am really curious about how this is being done.

Cheers,

Beekeeper
