Anyone else have people sign up for accounts with your email address? I had one recently where I could access a working GrubHub account for a while. And in the spirit of lame on-boarding optimization and “churn” prevention, while I could have used it - I couldn’t cancel the account. That required the phone number associated.
I had someone create a spotify account on one of my emails with an old (clearly burnt) password as the the username.
Why? I figure that's generally either for spamming or viewbotting (Re: likes, stars, etc) purposes especially on sites that don't require email verification to do things.
Only every other day. Most I don't care about but the major social networks? Yeah, I'm closing those accounts down ASAP because of the id theft risk and what not.
