The real kicker here though is that it IS possible to have registered a separate email address in gmail with a dot. My wife has been dealing with this in the opposite, she has a valid first.last@gmail and another person has a separate firstlast@gmail. She has the dot but frequently gets emails for the non dot address. We’ve gotten to know the person over like 10 years. If we’re victims of some sort of con game, then they’re certainly in it for the long haul...
- Gigablah 8y agoBut how do you know that the other person registered a gmail account, as opposed to, say, them registering the wrong email address with the email senders?
- astura 8y agoSend an email and see if that email shows up in your inbox?
- Gigablah 8y agoIf gmail ignores dots in the email address, of course that email is going to show up in your inbox.
- astura 8y agoAnd if it shows up it someone else's inbox then you know that the other person registered a gmail account with the dots, which was the question.
- Gigablah 8y agoWhich goes back to my question; how did he know that there is another inbox? Unless he happens to know the other person... well, in person. And if he knows them in person, why hasn't either of them switched email addresses already (within the last 10 years)? Something doesn't add up here.
- zargon 8y agoYou should realize that there is no additional gmail account registered with no dots. Just your wife's account. And somebody simply signs up for things using your wife's address, because they feel like it should be theirs. This is a very common thing. https://xkcd.com/1279/ https://xkcd.com/1279/
