And definitely NOT YOURS!
I’ve previously shared how various namesakes 🌍 around the world believe my Gmail account is really theirs—even though they can never actually read any email 📧 that arrives at that address.
I don’t really understand why this keeps happening, but it never seems to stop 🔄. Clearly, I’m the cleverest namesake of them all 🧠💡—having created this Gmail account back in 2003, secured with a strong password 🔐 and multi-factor authentication ✅.
No matter what, my account remains firmly under my control 🛡️, standing strong against all these mistaken identities.
It looks like I’ve applied for a job at a Tesco store in Plymouth 🇬🇧, where the pay is around £12/hour—not too shabby! 💷
I have set a strong 128-character password having reset it via email. 🎭🔒
Tesco’s system respects strong security practices (for passwords) but don’t verify the email address in the user signup—meaningmy email is being (ab)used by someone else. 😌✉️🔑

At least Microsoft keeps it professional ✅. On the very same day, someone tried to create a Microsoft account using my email address 🔐. But here’s the important part: Microsoft requires (not)me to verify my email before the account can be created. Yay, Microsoft! 🎉
Without the verification code (I actually received two) there’s no way anyone can complete the new account setup. No bypassing allowed! 🚫🔑
This kind of proactive verification adds a much-needed layer of security and peace of mind. 🙌
