Tech support: There is someone living in America who's keeps signing up to stuff using a Gmail account with an extremely similar name to mine: mine is firstname.surname@gmail.com and his is firstnamesurname@gmail.com.
Gmail ignores . and + before the @ but says that you shouldn't receive other people's emails. I get his emails periodically - usually for services he's signed up to. I assume he couldn't have registered the email address he's using so it's possible that he's using my email address to fob off anyone asking for his email - but it also sometimes looks like it's services that he wants. Does anyone know what I can do about this? Presumably nothing.
There is a lady out there who keeps giving out her phone number incorrectly to people, and instead gives them my wife's number. So my wife gets calls about doctor appointments, haircuts plus lots of other spam calls asking for the other person. Annoyingly it has been going on for years.
