      I heard from people who had the same luck, that they get E-Mails all the time from people with the same name who are too stupid to remember their address.
      So JohnDoe69@gmail.com always registers with JohnDoe@gmail.com, so you get their Mails instead. Is it a real problem?

        I don’t think it ever happened to me. But I have a Dutch first name and a Czech last name, so there probably aren’t many people around with my name.

        And it was a pretty modern first name at the time, so not a lot of boomer mail coming my way either.
