I need advice. There are hundreds of people that think my Gmail address is theirs, and over the years it’s been quite annoying. Someone recently engaged a realtor using my email address. When I went to unsubscribe to the “house finder” service, it has that person’s phone number.
Now I know what the right thing to do it. But I’m not sure that’s what I’m doing to do. What would you do?
@jerry I'm paul.hoffman@gmail, and there are a zillion other Paul Hoffmans who either misspell their own email addresses, or say them on the phone and the other person gets it close.
If it seems at all important, I reply. If I get something with a phone number, I call. It has made a huge difference to some Paul Hoffmans.
@paulehoffman @jerry yeah. Same. (I haven’t called anyone though.)
I get a lot of gmail misdirections too.
It’s varied from a university sending course grades to a parent, to satellite internet account info (not that one, Hughes), to legal counsel conferring strategies.
Been this way 20yrs. I’ve alerted the parties in cases that seem significant.
