Comment on Amazon just told me to log into someone else's account – and delete it

Madness. My friend is getting emails from 3 different dating sites, all to a person who has a very similar name and managed to sign up for all these sites using the wrong email address.

Somehow none of them bothered with email authentication.

It seems as if, technically, these sites (including Amazon in this scenario) are engaging in illegal spam practices. But who knows.

whoa, that explains what's been happening to me. I've been getting some mail from some match.com and I've never signed up.
