I registered a domain with my name, many moons ago.
Sometime later, a lawyer in Australia registered the .au version, but it was <MY NAME>.com.au, not <MY NAME>.au. <MY NAME>.com (no .au) was (and still is) my domain, and I get email, there.
I started getting really confidential stuff sent to my email, from the Australian courts. Stuff that could easily get people fired and sued.
I reported it for ages to both the courts and the lawyers. Eventually (after about 2 years), it stopped. I haven't gotten one of those for a long time.
