He got your name right? Could it be for someone with a similar address?

nah, he got both my first and last name right and both are uncommon names, there is no way he confused it

I know people who had applied various places online and one of them didn't get a call back until almost two years later on one job.

Sounds like a nigerian mail scam... proceed with caution.

Be sure to make him take comical pictures to prove he's legit.

I had one of those nigerian mail scammers going back + forth, 3 each way but he never replied again. Maybe his email was closed. I should host it. I think I did an ok job at it.

Dingle Dangle certainly is an uncommon name.

Why not just call and see what happens. The moment he asks for money or anything related to that, you know it's a scam.
