Re:Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses by bluehatbrit on Friday August 28, 2020 @11:52AM (#24306346)
I have the same but it seems to be one specific person in Canada (I'm in the UK). I started getting emails about college prospectuses and applications, then I started getting them about library fines. I tried to email the library and inform them that they had the wrong email address and got nothing back. The latest has been emails from a car dealership trying to confirm some options for a new car.

I can't believe this person is missing so many emails that are presumably quite important to them. I can only assume they have the same first name as me but spelt differently and that other people are typing their address in wrong to various systems.

These days I just ignore every email like that, mostly for fear that one day I'll end up stuck with someone trying to hold me responsible for something.
