[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my OB/GYN practice, I found out from a confused receptionist that there was a patient with the same last name and same first name (spelling variant though) as me.  I had had a few strange "mistaken identity" moments in my town before, and so after that I used LinkedIn to track down my doppelganger.  Got in touch and had a pleasant lunch with her (we were both graduates of the same grad program).  I wanted to make sure that we knew each other so we could avoid any odd mixup consequences.  We had lots of identical resume characteristics and, based on genealogy, her family and mine had branched off from each other about 200 years before. So she actually was a very distant cousin.[/quote]

Same exact grad program and resume? Sounds sus. I’d contact the school as a recruiter and find out for sure. [/quote]

PP.  Lol. She was for real and not impersonating me.  No concerns.  By resume I meant...same undergrad major at different schools, same MBA, same industry (we worked at competitors), etc.  I'd had some other experiences where people thought I was her or saw her name and thought of me.  But she was not trying to steal my identity.  In fact, she was the longer-term local with greater career success.  We are still connected on LinkedIn and if it ever comes up now we can say that we're distant cousins and people like that kind of true, easy explanation.  Even though there's 200 years of divergence.[/quote]
