Has anyone else received this email from Digi-Key?

My last name is probably the most common in the US, so I guess my name is similar to a lot of people’s names. They are acting like I’m trading government secrets or some crap, I just want a few LEDs…

Yelp, I just called them up on the phone and said “Hey whats this, you got me confused with someone else”. They explained what it was for and verified who I was, then told me my account was fine to order away.
I think some bad people using electronic components build some nasty things that cause mass destruction, so they need to verify your not one of those on the watch list. At least that’s how I took it.

Interesting. I just wanted some LH351Ds with reasonable shipping now that Arrow decided they hate us.

The Arrow free shipping was a sweet deal while it lasted. I wish they would just go to charging what the actual shipping cost is on small orders instead of this “you better order $50 bucks worth or were gonna charge close to $50 bucks anyway”.

As long as your name ain’t Jason bin-Laden or something…
