Yep, I have an incredibly common firstname@gmail.com email address and I get hundreds of emails daily with random bills, reservations, bank statements and so on.


I'm not alone

The number of people who just didn't understand the implications of not using their own email for banks, etc is too many.

The fault is partially on the banks too IMO. Why don't they verify the emails first before sending sensitive information.


It took me forever to get Mint to stop sending me someone’s PII.

Send a fucking confirmation email to set up a financial account, Jesus. There should really be a law.
