We should start a club. Or at least exchange notes. Most recent catch was someone signing up for Ashley Madison with my email address. I’ve been on the receiving end of multiple dating site memberships, real estate alerts for cities and countries I’ve never even visited, and at least one online gambling service.
I do enjoy the services that not only fail to validate the email address, but also provide said address with a direct-access email link! They want to remove roadblocks for users eager to start using the service.
I, on the other hand, appreciate the opportunity to interject into early stages of flirtatious conversations and mention that the (invariably male) user isn’t exactly setting any trustworthiness records, what with the fake email address and all.
