The American Bannon is on Twitter with the handle @StephenBannon, but his account isn't verified and he hasn't tweeted since August 2014.

The Scottish Bannon, meanwhile, told Mashablethat he's been receiving misdirected tweets for around four years now.

"Thing escalated 17 August when he was appointed Chief Strategist," he said, adding that he now receives around 100 notifications a day.

Their shared names have led to a fair bit of confusion.

Bannon told us that he keeps all his responses to misdirected tweets decent and non-abusive. He said the replies started out as a bit of fun, and that he's received a lot of support from others on Twitter.

"I'm ok with it," he said. "I think it's funny that the US people tweet abuse without actually looking at who it's directed at. My profile pic has myself and TED on it!!"

Even John Lewis has now chipped in to offer Bannon his support.

Bannon's also attempting to turn the whole situation into an opportunity -- he's set up a Just Giving page titled "Wrong Steve Bannon" which he's pinned to the top of his feed in an attempt to raise money for his daughter's golf aspirations.

"Just Giving was suggested to me from a friend," Bannon explained. "Seeing as you're getting all this abuse why not make some cash on it.

"My daughter needs new clubs which won't be cheap... She is a Wiltshire County Girls Player playing off 13 at 13 years old."

Bannon's only got the one donation so far, but who knows -- if he ends up going as viral as John Lewis, the money might start flooding in.
