Re:What kind of password reset scam is going on at Facebook? on Thursday September 07, 2023 @04:47PM (#37425341)

But I know at least two people in two countries with a similar name keep giving out the wrong address from all the crap I get confirming their hair appointments and organising their BBQs, so it seems benign rather than a hacking attempt.

I take it as karma for all the junk <verycommonname@>hotmail.com must get whenever I use a public wifi network. Sorry verycommonname!
