I have an alias that is a vaguely common name, which is firstname.lastname@gmail.com
Once a year or so somebody tries to get into that gmail or associated social media account with a bunch of password-reset emails. I'm pretty sure it's someone with a similar name who is slightly misspelling their email, messing up the dot (gmail ignores dots but other systems don't), etc.
- worklaptopacct 3y agoI have an old email with my (common) first name and a low number. Every now and then I get registration emails from various children's online games.
