I own a four char gmail account that is a common word. (I was employed at G in 2004.) I get _everything_. If I don't have an account on a service, I try a password reset and it usually works. I have bank info, hundreds of AT&T cell phone contracts, pro baseball player contracts, mortgages, taxes, paypal, investment accounts. You name it. I get thousands of spam messages a day that are correctly filtered and I mark dozens as spam on top of it. I can tell you about tons of companies that don't do email validation. I was once offered 5BTC for it but it is much more valuable to me (also I didn't know just how high BTC would go). It's annoying but I'm still striving for inbox zero. :)
