Someone somehow registered his Paypal account with a mail that actually gets into my inbox (dotted version of a gmail - for example a.b.c at gmail is the same as abc at gmail)
So, it's quite easy for me to request a new password and break into this person's account, if I wanted. I do not want!
I am receiving his Paypal mail for a lot of time now. Some time ago I wrote to Paypal about it, they tried to persuade me it's problem with Gmail, not theirs!!! And ignored me.
The best thing I can think of is resetting this person's password and closing his account on his behalf, because it's not a safe account for him.
But before this, I am trying a last effort to reach Paypal to encourage them to resolve the issue for their other user. Their messaging center is down...
Any ideas, dear community?
I also hope someone from Paypal may be reading here once in a while too.
