Someone is re-directing their email to my Gmail...

Some guy named Craig decided to redirect his emails to my Gmail account. I ignored them at first until I started getting account information on his behalf. I sent out an email warning him and his email buddies that this was a security issue and that he should change his password and disable redirection.

I guess he didn't listen. Now I'm getting his Facebook stuff forwarded to me, and also, some of the more personal emails. Apparently, he broke up with his girlfriend a few days ago. Then, his girlfriend sends this sappy letter about how she felt she needed re-assurance from him to feel secure again...blah..blah..blah... I guess I'll keep track of the soap opera and send out another warning.

I also got some other emails from his other lady friends. For your voyeuristic enjoyment:

Hi Craig,

I'm truly sorry to hear your feeling so blue.
Lets talk soon.

hugs, Jen

Hi Jen,
Thanks for adding me as a friend I'm feeling pretty blue right now. I decided to breakup with Nancy last night and now feel all alone again. I thought about calling you but decided to wallow in the feelings tonight.

Why are relationships so hard?

Now what? I don't even feel like dating. I cant sleep even after taking two sleeping pills. I miss oscar too!

I hope things are going better for you.
I'll call you soon.

Sleep well!
Craig


I'm really sorry to hear that you and Nancy didn't work out. Is it Nancy or someone else? No, it's not fun at all. With us it's been years and years that we've been having problems on and off. I was hopeful that it would work out but he wasn't open to marriage counseling. And that was 3 years ago. Now, that I've moved out, he's willing to do anything. He is going to counseling on his own and wants me to go with him but it's too late. I care about him but everything that's happened has killed my feelings. It is sad but I'm much happier on my own. I haven't gotten a new boxer. It's Cali. I sent you 2 pics of her. One with her new sweater and one with her playing in the snow that we got. We got a lot of snow. I was over there for Christmas and I couldn't believe how much snow you got. It was pretty amazing. Take care and talk to you soon. I've got good vibes going your way.

Hi Kathy,
Sorry it's been so long. I've been pretty busy. How are you? Did you move out? Sounds pretty serious.
Breaking up is never any fun. I know, I'm going through it right now too.

Last night was not much fun. We talked until 5am. Tonight I can't sleep at all even though I took two sleeping pills (1000 Mg). I'm not feeling a bit tired. Ok I just yawned maybe theirs hope yet.

Did you get a boxer? Send me a piture if you did. I adore them.

Take care. I'll call sometime this week.

Maybe it's gmail?
I am in California and I just got this when trying to log in via my bookmark:

We can't provide service under the Gmail name in Germany; we're called Google Mail here instead.

If you're traveling in Germany, you can access your mail at http://mail.google.com.

Oh, and we'd like to link the URL above, but we're not allowed to do that either. Bummer.

For general information about Google, please visit www.google.com or www.google.de.

I call shens. Why would someone just randomly redirect all of their email to some other random email address? :confused:

Change his facebook status to "I am an idiot for redirecting all my emails to a strange gmail account"

:laugh:

Did that to a friend who left it logged in on my computer. Changed profile pic to some male underwear modeling pics, added a bunch of Tom Welling pictures, etc.

Send back rude replies and pics until they complain to their friend so he removes the forwarding. :D

Something weird just happened to me on gmail. I get like 5 messages from my buddy, but they were originally sent a few month ago, and I got them, but today I got the emails again. Which was highly confusing since the issues in those emails were already addressed :)

I have my firstinitiallastname@gmail.com

I regularly get emails for someone with the same first initial and lastname. He propbably has the same email but with a "." between the two, and is unable to remember that. I have to email his associates regularly to let them know they haven't reached the right person. Just got a linkedin reminder the other day that was meant for him.
