My Gmail user name is being used as AppleID in Denmark
My Gmail address username is my first name and my last name. Someone in Denmark is using the same thing with a dot in between the first and last name as his AppleID login. This past summer I received an email from Apple in which it stated "You recently requested a password reset or unlock your Apple ID. Click the link below to continue." This was when I learned that kurtsahl and kurt.sahl are treated as identical usernames. I contacted Apple and after a long discussion, the answer was, "This is Gmail issue, not an AppleID issue."
I did not request to change my AppleID nor is my Apple ID the same as my Gmail address. Evidently, the person who owns this AppleID requested a change in his AppleID password. Shortly after, I received an email stating that the AppleID password had been changed. I don't know how he accomplished this because he did not have access to my email account. This account was created using MY e-mail address. This is NOT a Google issue because there is no problem with Gmail. This is an Apple issue because A[[;e allowed an account to be created using an e-mail address someone didn't actually have access to.
I am not concerned that this person can access my AppleID account, but I am concerned that I will be responsible for the AppleID account that uses my email address. I'm just looking for some resolution to the issue. Thanks. -- Kurt
