Asking a question for my dad who has been having issues with someone...

Someone got his email address and is constantly signing him up for all kinds of different "Adult Sites".

He asked me what to do about it and honestly I had no idea. Google didnt help either...

I changed his email settings to where the sign ups go to his junk folder so they dont show up on his screen anymore.

Honestly there is nothing he can do to stop that. Unsubscribe from the emails or make a new one.

Not much you can do. Get your own email address would be advised, or at least a throwaway one for stuff that's not important.

You will have to get a new email, nothing you can do.

Are you sure your dad isn't signing up to these sites himself but saying he isn't so he doesn't get caught out *Insert Think Emote Here*

i think time will play out, because this person has to go out of their way to sign him up. that will get old fast (hopefuly).
someone has been using my phone number, so not only do i get calls about car insurance quotes, im also signed up for rewards programs. for example the local grocery store has "fuel points" i'll go to the store one day and see my points, i'll go to the gas station the next to see that they're all gone. weird.
