Digikey keeps flagging me for Export Compliance

What kind of a check is a "similar name check"? This seems pretty error prone to me, and I'm starting to get the feeling that this is some sort of racial profiling. Would I get hit if my last name was "Schwartz" or "Jones"?  This is all despite the fact that I'm an American and have ordered many times from Digikey in the past.

Has anyone else seen this? Anyone with an Asian sounding last name constantly getting flagged for Export Compliance checks?

Because that's one way for "agents" from prohibited regions to get the stuff. They buy and have it shipped to a US address, then export it themselves.

That Russian group based in the USA was buying and re-routing restricted ICs some years back.  It is on the seller to reasonably ensure that the parts are not destined for resale.

If you have take a yearly course on export compliance, learning how to recognize this scenario is probably about half of the course.

With all the sanctions in place people are trying to work around them drop shipping etc.
