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.
