Match.com doesn't require people to confirm their email address/registration? Or were you nice enough to do that for him?

I get someone's Wells Fargo emails, can't remove myself. Can't contact them without an account...GRRR.

I had this happen a couple of times and after trying to work with the site to get it addressed, I just changed the email in the profile to something random so I'd stop getting email notices.

hahaha same thing happened to me a year ago, except it was someone's american express account :D. Apparently they had the same initials as me and they used my gmail but put a "." in the email. gmail does not recognize periods so all their credit info kept being sent to me lol
