In my case I would be surprised if it was luck, it is quite a odd domain name to be sending email from. I have just always assumed it was compromised due to some forum hack or another. Doesn't bother me as it has been my spam account for a few years now -- Kim White On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 7:52 PM, allison nixon <elsakoo () gmail com> wrote:
is the email something like robin @ gmail.com? it's possible that technically illiterate people are just typing their name @ gmail.com or mistaking what their email address is. i remember a long time ago reading a thread and people had these really old usernames like bob () yahoo com and they were getting all sorts of misdirected emails because random people would type in their usernames mistakenly. i've seen people approaching senility who do this too. type in their name @ domain.com maybe in the future you could click the confirmation link to activate the account, and then reset the password later on to see what sort of activity has happened on the account. you can also get an ip address if the service displays your login history. i dont know if that's legal, so if it's not, then ignore what i just said. but it might be the most direct way to get to the bottom of your issue. -a On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 10:00 AM, Robin Wood <robin () digininja org> wrote:On Mar 12, 2013 11:56 AM, "ben smith" <paradoxxxx () gmail com> wrote:I've been having the same issue. Someone's been using an address ofmine to attempt to sign up for Facebook, changed the email they have on their mortgage, etc. I thought it was a scam at first, but now just seems like stupidity. The mortgage was straightened after a quick call to the bank who couldn't confirm anything, but seemed reasonably sure it was a simple typo issue.Don't attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity, Isuppose. I can't decide which to put this down to, it is to weak for malice and been going on to long and doesn't feel like stupidity.
