My husband had this happen. It started with dating sights and then once he got a lone application to a creadit union not in our state. He called the creadit union be double check that it wasn't some one trying to be him. Nope my dh's email is first.last@gmail. this guy has put in firstlast@gmail. From a not to discreet person at the creadit union we found out that there is a guy to has dh's first and last name but who typically had a different email address.

My brother's email is a similar first.last name and he ocasionally gets emails for a professor, I think at Oxford, who has his same name. That guy did give a wrong email ( spliced the front of his work email on to the back of the Gmail) to a realtor when looking for houses. My brother contacted the realtor so that the guy could actually get the emails, and then connected with the guy (I think though the realtor)when he got a couple of emails from students who has messed up the address arrived in my brother's in box.
