I'd log in an cancel the account. Why feel wierd? Someone is using your email address without your permission. Curious how often this happens.

  I have firstname.lastname (although now it just forwards to my FastMail vanity domain) and I've shut down new eBay and Amazon accounts plus received doctors appointments and even school lunch duty emails. Sometimes I respond, and I even forwarded a couple after figuring out one mis-user's real email (firstnamelastname0) when a cable company csr chat log was emailed, but they never responded so now I delete them all.

    Wow, what a shitshow. Do we have a word to describe frustrations caused as a byproduct of other people's use of technology? I wonder if the Japanese do.

    I've had the same: I have firstname.lastname, and I've had netflix, nytimes subscription, dropbox registrations (and warnings that it's full), hotel bookings, and many other things that are nothing to do with me, targeted to firstnamelastname. I also get regularly added to conversations with other people who think I'm someone else. Again and again I've had to try and explain that they've got the wrong email address, but it happens so often now, I just don't bother now and ignore the emails.
