For a few years now, someone with the same name as me has been signing up for online services using <surname><forename>@<provider.tld>. It’s always been a minor annoyance but over the years I have typically gone with an unsubscribe/delete and forget approach.
However, said imposter has now signed up for and Apple ID using this email address and I keep getting spammed with “Verify your email address” emails - presumably because they are re-sending them after they don’t reach “their” inbox.
How can I let the imposter know they’re using the wrong email address? Why would they go this long (circa 5 years) thinking my email address belongs to them?
I’m also a little concerned that this might affect my own Apple ID which is linked to my primary email address.
