I am also receiving emails addressed to someone which includes regular ATM debit alerts and legal notices for outstanding phone bills. My email address has a dot between my first name and last name and the emails I am receiving has been addressed to someone who has the same name as me but without the dot in between the first name and last name. All this while I have been thinking that the person has been going around providing incorrect email address, but after reading this thread I am beginning to think that maybe the person didnt make any mistake. I just sent him an email, i received the email back in my inbox, now lets see if I get any response.

Now you can't... But when Gmail was invite based at that time I created email ids as [email protected] and [email protected] was able to create two accounts and I do has different passwords for both

So, I just tried logging in by entering the firstname and lastname without dot and I am able to log in with my existing password, so does that proves that someone has wrongly provided my email address? :-/
