Someone keeps using my very boring firstname lastname icloud account.
I know it sounds like a minor irritation but it's more than just spam. Eg they bought loads of stuff at Walmart using the address so I was getting order confirmation, order dispatch, order arrived emails, product reminder emails etc. It's at least 'medium annoying!'
I'm getting loads of insurance emails, lots of Fox Nation ones. And it's all the same person so not spam as such, but purposeful activity.
Last year she bought flights using my email. I could see her full name, address, names of her children and even had access to cancel the flight.
I got in touch with the place where she bought it and asked them to take the account down. They did - until the next time.
She's just bought a new flight (short internal US flight)! I can cancel it in one click. I'm really tempted to - what would you do?
There was a US phone number in the booking details so I have messaged it (it was on imessage) and asked them to stop using my email address please (I was nice). I sent a follow up saying I would cancel the flight in the morning.
Message has been delivered but not read. Of course that could be fake too.
I can't find her on social media/Facebook. Though I have messaged someone who could be her son.
I just don't know if it's laziness, stupidity, maliciousness. Probably the first. But it's making me grumpy when I think about it (which is only when I get a new email with all her details in it!).
Would deleting her flight be a step too far?
