How can I stop someone else from using my email address?

My problem is that someone with the same name, based in America, is using my @icloud.com address to sign up for accounts and services, including Instagram. For example, I know that he has purchased a case for his iPhone 4, is interested in a new Ford pickup truck, and has signed his child up for a Scholastic education account.

When he signs up for fresh accounts, I get verification emails that I regularly have to decline. In some instances, it seems he has changed his email address in accounts he already holds, and doesn’t need to verify them with my email.

• I have tried contacting the individual but to no avail.
• It’s slightly concerning that he’s constantly typing in the wrong email and potentially sharing information with me +1-877-353-4243

I get this as well. A surprising number of people don’t seem to be able to remember their email addresses. This is a growing problem because of the use of real names. We used to think this was a great idea, overlooking the fact that there are often hundreds and sometimes thousands of people with the same name, and now they’re all coming online. We might have been better off using fabricated but memorable names.

First, make absolutely sure that you have total control of your own accounts. Change the passwords to something stronger, change your answers to security questions, and think about adding two-factor authentication. This usually means associating your email account with a mobile phone number. If someone asks for a password reset, the email service will text you a numerical code to type in.

Bear in mind that people who really believe they own a particular address may try to access to it, assume they have forgotten the password, and try to gain access by getting your password reset.

You could even contact your email provider, complain that somebody else is using your email address, and say that you are worried about your account being compromised. They’re very unlikely to do anything, but if something goes wrong, at least you can prove you forewarned them.

If someone uses your email address to open a Facebook account, there’s a form for that.

If you’re just getting unwanted newsletters or promotional emails, reputable companies will always offer a simple way to unsubscribe.
