Yes ma'am, my email address really is bofa.com@<optionoft's-lastname>.com
No I'm not trying to hack you.
Which in hindsight is also what a hacker would say. I can't win...
On top of it my email address is .me so is very common to when I finish spelling my e-mail, people waiting for .com
Where, of course, 'bofa' is merely short for 'bofetada.'
There are some big brain companies who will block you if their name appears in the email address. Like Discord. You can create an account, with discrod@example.com. But a seconde later you will get an email that your account got band.
They know their way around IT security! /s
What you say is often true, but in the case of Discord, at least in my case, you are wrong. My Discord email address is discord@xxx.com, and I am still receiving emails from them.

I had one website forward my mail to their legal department who asked me why I’m impersonating them :D Only required a short explanation though.
I often get asked whether I'm a fellow employee.
I have an account just like that at Best Buy with my domain. The teenage cashier I gave it to thought it was cool.
