I think wrongly added.
I too received such emails. All because of Gmail. For example. My email is ABC.123@gmail.com But that idiot used ABC123@gmail.com instead. According to Gmail, ABC123@gmail.com is same as ABC.123@gmail.com too. |

QUOTE(mryellow19 @ Apr 4 2025, 07:39 PM) If you check the recipient of the email, was it to your email with . or was it to another slightly different variation of your email (. in a different location or no . completely)? all the to: adress is with dot. exactly same as mine.I’ve faced similar with someone using a non . variant of my email address and I’ve been getting Lazada invoice for purchases the other person made 😅  |

QUOTE(Pip_X @ Apr 4 2025, 03:29 PM) Click forgot password, website will send code to your email to verify. Yes, I've done that before when someone uses my email address. Manage to take over his Facebook and Instagram. But for banking definitely cannot, need to verify mobile number. Then u can set new password and login to see his stuff. That idiot even uses my email to register Apple ID, but luckily Apple quite strict otherwise I would have reset and locked his iPhone. QUOTE(Azran1979 @ Apr 4 2025, 07:38 PM) the guy not only have bank but astro bills also came to me. Call Astro using the info in the bill, request to subscribe the most expensive package or request termination. |

1st must make a non-action report with Police station. Clearly declare this is non related to you. Then report to app platform with police report.

I’m experiencing the same issue. It seems that an older gentleman, who happens to have the same name as me, mistakenly assumed the email account was his. As a result, all of his transaction details are being sent to my inbox.
UOB and Public Bank don’t verify whether the bank account actually belongs to the person. They simply accept whatever information is provided to them without proper validation. |
