I have a relatively good email address, and more than a handful of people who don't seem to understand email, just use my address... I've had payment confirmations from mlb.com orders, to tractor supply receipts and junk mail, to student loan paperwork. It's amazing how much garbage I see all because nobody actually confirms email address ownership before signing people up for crap.

The worst is some foreign gambling site, I can't even log into to change the preferences and cancel the account.

Though, I did deface then delete someone's dating profile once, who signed up on an app with my email...
