It happens that my own email is mdcrawford@gmail.com.
Most serious is that Dr. Crawford of I think Sydney Australia doesn't get the email that informs his hospital's staff that a particularly sick patient has arrived and is waiting for Dr. Crawford to transplant one of their organs.
Most absurd is that I looked up some other m.d. crawford's phone number in _my_ profile in Bing Webmaster tools then rang him up to point out that he's been giving out my email address and not his own correct one.
And yes he really _did_ ask "How did you get my number?".
He wasn't trying to use Bing Webmaster Tools, he was trying to get a job at Microsoft.
It happens that a certain Marion Crawford of New Orleans, Louisiana was looking for auto mechanic work for quite a long time. I don't know whether his time of unemployment led him to take his own life or whether he finally clued in to the right email address to give to his potential employers.
I could go one for days. I mean I really could.

Marion Lucille Crawford Spann, deceased in Baton Rouge, 1/20/2017. Another Marion Crawford died April 28, 2000, but he's not likely your Crawford. Marion seems a masculine name to me, but Marion Lucille sounds more feminine. The Spann at the tail end of the name makes me think Crawford was a maiden name, Spann the married name? Ehhh, who knows. Then again maybe not even related to your Crawford.
I clicked the direct link to Crawford's obit, but you have to have an account to actually view it.

I was just _joking_ about Marion's suicide.

Death would not be nearly as likely to stop the "Job opening for you" e-mails as correcting the e-mail address would be.
