Forums General Chit-Chat Random people keep signing up for things with MY email

"Don't ask your questions to the wall..."


So, this is the... 5th time I've had to contact some random site's support to get an account taken down, due to the fact that some random person is using my email to sign up for things. The first time was some kid signing up for Minecraft with my email, the following was Roblox, and Netflix. Now, some random person signed up for an Nvidia account using my email and I'm currently waiting for someone in the live chat on the site to respond to me >_>;;

Oh dear, that must've been really troublesome when someone (especially people whom you don't know) using your email to sign up without consent/permission D: And hopefully you'll be able to get some respond from said someone as soon as possible!

Oh. That is unfortunate, I'm guessing they're... *thinking* too busy or just... whatever they're doing.

Apparently I can't even delete the account since it's not verified... but I don't want to verify it, not until I get the password/etc changed.

That sucks :x Hmmm.... Maybe leaving the account if deleting said account is impossible might be the only choice. Pretend that it doesn't exist. (Sorry for the bad advice)

I guess it is a common email - I managed to reset the password and verify the account, now to contact support again. Fun.

@KDA Drew: Yeah, I figured it was from one of the data breaches my email was in - thankfully, nobody's actually gotten into the email itself since I used 2FA. I use haveibeenpwned to monitor breaches and such - it's a little annoying, considering it's really easy to just... make your own email >w>;;

Oh, and an update on my situation - in 48 hours the account will be deleted!!! 🎉

It's the worst honestly - I don't get the appeal of using someone else's email to sign up for things ??? Isn't it weird to do that???

I had a ghost Netflix account, not sure how it was made 'cause I'm pretty sure it's required to put in your birthday + name - the account that was associated with my email had literally no info on it lol
