Guys, my email id is let's say aa.bb@gmail, but from few days I'm getting emails from Swiggy which are supposed for "aabb@gmail"....in Gmail To address, the email is clearly mentioned as aabb instead of aa.bb. That guy who is ordering items, seems to have create Lazypay account and now I'm getting Lazypay emails too!!

Not sure whether is bug or someone is deliberately pulling some trick. As of now my cibil is clear and reflecting only my accounts

In gmail address dots does not matter

[email protected] = [email protected] = [email protected]

So some one created account adding dots etc..

May be you can try to reset password and take the ownership of the account or mail swiggy to close it..

Wait for others inputs as well.

Even I am in same situation. I am getting emails from dot account. I had also raised it to Gmail team but they donot want to accept it happening. I got standard reply that dots don't matter, it's the same email address. Only reason I think of is I joined Gmail beta long back through referral and may be accounts from that time have issues.

It's not an issue, it's a feature. Many other services have it too.


It's called plus & dot addresses.


user+facebook[@]gmail.com = u.s.er+amazon[@]gmail.com = us.er[@]googlemail.com


All are the same addresses & will get email in inbox. Your account is the same as every other account.
