I recently started receiving confirmation e-mails for website accounts which I didn’t create, but have apparently been set up using my e-mail address. They typically have a ‘click here if you received this in error or did not request this account’, so I do that. I’m pretty sure it’s a kid because they are websites oriented toward children like Disney.com. But I’m a little freaked out that someone out there is using my address. Am I at risk for identity theft? What should I watch out for? Is there anything I can do to stop this?
I thought Phishing only worked if you replied and sent your password (which I DON’T do).
