I had someone send me their entire credit report. Luckily I am not a scammer and I deleted it for them. They sent me an Amazon gift card to thank me for not stealing their PII.

I get DoorDash order notifications, Uber notifications, etc

I am not sure how they signed up with my email as I never got a sign up notification

Part of this also is because email / gmail is not case sensitive [email protected] is the same as [email protected]. I see a lot of Jsmith vs jsmith (like how I actually use my email).

Nothing is getting stolen from me but not sure how this is actually working for people.
