| I have a Gmail address with my first and last name @ gmail.com a name that is shared by at least 200+ men in the USA. I signed up for Gmail in 2005 doing a beta test and got my first and last name as my gmail account. If someone else of the same name signs up they have to use a letter or number combination at gmail.com. I get emails for the wrong person all of the time. Recently I have been signed up to several sex and dating websites that don't even require an email confirmation. I was able to unsubscribe from their lists, but I can't help feel scared that men are using my gmail address to look for women and it makes me look bad. What if the women try to contact them via email and it goes to me? I tried emailing abuse @ domain.com for each one but no response. I'm too scared to log onto the website and reset the password for each account and then have the account deleted. I once had to do that before, only to have them recreate the account. I can't tell if this is an accident or if it is being done on purpose? But none of these web sites confirm the email, and anyone can type any email they want and create an account. Then I start getting email from their websites that I don't want and I had to explain to my wife that I was not me signing up for these accounts. |
