Valid question. There is a bug in the Android SMS app that sends your text to unintended recipients. See:

Interesting. I get mail addressed to people with GMail addresses that are similar to mine (gaustin vs. g.austin). I sometimes wonder if other people get emails addressed to me...
Don't worry: both these addresses are yours! See the first item in this help page:

It could be because G. Austin is a fairly common first initial and last name. I'm pwelch@gmail.com and every damn P. Welch in the world thinks they have my email address.
