I have the same thing with the email address for this nickname. A few people are occasionally using the version without a dot.

Whenever somebody register on any website using it, I use the recovery options from the emails they send me to disassociate my email address from their accounts (I never ever keep access to those accounts).

For direct / personal emails (usually in Spanish) or anything else with some customer support involved I just send a short reply in English stating that they've got the wrong person and email. Then I usually spam flag everything not English (I'm only a little sorry for doing that).

There was this one day recently when somebody kept re-registering on this one site about a dozen times, and I kept resetting the password because they used my email every time. I have to guess that they eventually figured out their mistake, because it stopped. I hope...
