It’s not too short. 12 characters including the name separating dot. This person that recently started using this email is using the same name but with no dot.

first.lastname@gmail is what I use, and now I’m getting a bunch for firstlastname@gmail.
Some of these emails look pretty important too, if I had malicious intent, I could probably ruin and or steal this persons identity and or business with the specific mail that I’ve received recently.
I’m really amazed at the lack of confirmation of emails before sending things like your HVAC business license, or city contracting permits, that have other people’s identifying information in them too.
- djur 9y agoWouldn't the same thing be happening if they'd entered first.lastname@gmail, or if you used firstlastname@gmail? It seems like the problem is that they entered an email address that wasn't actually theirs. The dots don't seem to make a difference.
- colomon 9y agoIndeed, my wife gets this problem all the time on gmail because her name is a fairly common one. The dots don't enter into it in the general case.
