| Re: I get emails from different people, they have same email id without .(dot), I get more sensitive msg | HDNick | 7/20/12 8:45 PM | @bkc56 You are wrong. I'm having the same issue. And I have proof that it's not just someone accidentally using my email address without the dot because they are signing up for services that require a password. The only way they could sign up for the |
