I could also talk about how Verizon won't stop contacting me about a wireline account in Maryland, how several banks can't be convinced I've never been their customer, how hard it is to get my email address off an eBay account I didn't create, how much trouble I went through to get my email address off a general contractor listing, how the loyalty program at {Sears, Ulta, GameStop, Kmart} is impossible to get off of, how I've been sent payroll information for an entire company, the countless slide decks marked "company confidential" from companies I've never even heard of, or maybe that one time when I got sent blue prints for a gas turbine power plant in South Africa. And how I've never had any business dealings with any of the aforementioned entities where I gave them the email address in question.
It's a real problem for me that there are tons of companies out there that do nothing to ensure the email address a user types in actually belongs to them. And for those companies that do try, they can't contemplate that their process has failed and that someone would want to get their email address off an account they never created.
