    That’s actually pretty crazy. For one, it’s wild that they let multiple accounts go to your one email. Second, it’s wild that multiple people just happened to randomly type in your email

      I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov any time some shitty website requires me to register for their newsletter or create a free account.

      If Ashley Madison doesn’t (didn’t? Are they still around?) require email validation, and enough people hate you (or at least want to troll you), then yeah…might be legit.

      There are a few people with a similar name to me that don’t seem to understand how email works. I get signed up for all sorts of their things. I get notices of their pizza deliveries, when they apply for car loans, flight info, hotel stays, I even end up in family message email chains.

      Every once in a while I go though and delete these accounts, that’s how it’s happened multiple times. Sometimes I just take the account over though, if it’s got reward points or something.
