Hopefully someone here can clear this up for me, as Google's help page isn't all that helpful...
Basically, I randomly received an email this evening from '[email protected]', informing me my new account had been created. I haven't made a new account.
The email address associated with this new account is my email address with an extra period in the user name, i.e:
my address - [email protected]
'new' email address - [email protected]
Out of morbid curiosity, and spurred on by Gmail's help page (which assumes that any email like this is the result of human error in typing a recovery address), I send an email to this new address I apparently created... the weird thing is, the email I sent, appeared in my regular inbox!!
Anyone had experience of this, or have any idea what the hell's going on?
(I've already changed my password, before you all tell me to!
