Gmail

[Earl]

I've started receiving mail for someone with a gmail address almost identical to mine, but missing a few full stops.

I'm forwarding it on to them.

That is really weird.

I just received the message I forwarded!

Without giving my email address away mine is something like fred.blogs.72@gmail.com and I'm getting the mail of fredblogs72@gmail.com

A couple of weeks ago Google were sending me messages saying someone else was logging into my account, but the messages were addressed to fredblogs72 not me.

Well, it seems that is my gmail address.

So now I just need to find out who's been using it to create travel company accounts and booking car hire for three days next week.

Errrr, looks like you've got a problem on your hands.

Someone has set up an account and for some reason they've used my email address, doesn't do me any harm, but they can't log-in and conform their car hire. I might fly to Illinois in October so I can make use of three days free car hire!

I used to get emails for some guy in Ireland that has a very similar address to mine. One time I got one from a garage saying that they had managed to sell my van, and another time I got stuff from some very cheeky women, also in Ireland. When I said I had no idea who they were they came back saying "why am I being so weird"?
