It's close to Hamilton.
Some genius there created a PlayStation Network account using my email address. With his full name and address. Wow.
Someone go give that guy a slap.

Ooo goody! A clever one!
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

I don't know, fake email, why not a fake name?
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I checked it. Someone with that name lives at that address.

And someone with your email address exists too.
I'm not saying that it isn't the address of the actual registree though, I'm merely pointing out a different possibility.
One of my email addresses is very popular to use as a fake address. And a few years back I got tired of it and started to tell people to stop it.
That's when I learned that many subscription services actually make a check that the postal addresses are real, and that people therefore use someone elses address instead.
Nowadays I'm messing with the registrees instead when I'm getting their confirmation email.

Yea I know, it is possible, but extremely unlikely.
The registree would have to have done actual effort to make the name match the address (the chance of them matching accidentally is just too low) and who does that when giving a fake address?
Also, my email address is not an obvious choice for a fake email address. It's more likely to have been a typo.

I drive by there every time I visit one of my daughters. I'll yell at the guy for you next time I visit my daughter.
