The Curious Case of Apple Retail Specialist Sam Sung

This morning I came across a tweet from Brian Wong pointing out a link to a LinkedIn profile of one Sam Sung, Apple Retail Specialist, based in Vancouver, Canada. A case of cat and mouse ensued, presumably as Sam Sung found out that he's been outed and Apple might not want the humorous publicity.

  1. This tweet showed up on my timeline courtesy of a retweet from @wolwol on Sunday morning.
  2. This Sam Sung guy is real, and he works for Apple. Hilarious. linkedin.com/in/ssung
  3. Naturally, this is a conversation I imagine happen relatively often with Mr. Sung.
  4. A: Hi, my name’s Sam, I work for Apple Retail. B: What’s your last name Sam? A: Sung B: So you’re Sam Sung, and you sell Apple stuff? A: Ya.
  5. David, a partner at my company's incubator saw something different. The name of the profile had been changed to Tony Sung.
  6. But my screen shot says otherwise.
  7. @amasna for some reason the link of profile shows Tony Sun instead the twitpic you just gave.
  8. @davidwayneika funny. that’s the same link i took the screenshot from.
  9. The profile had indeed been changed and some references to Apple had been removed, but not all. All other details had remained unchanged.
  10. @amasna this is screenshot from the link & Tony Sung happens to be Apple Retail specialist too haha http://pic.twitter.com/ZRYQK6uV
  11. @davidwayneika i just opened the link from my Mac and it shows tony sung, but link doesn’t make sense, it’s ssung. he must have changed it
  12. @amasna LOL i guess Sam is aware about it and change his profile name
  13. That tweet above would have been the end of it before this next tweet showed up on my timeline.
  14. LOL irony hit a whole new level with this RT @mikko: Business card of an Apple specialist in Vancouver: twitpic.com/be3e8t
