Reader IfThenElvis has a problem with his Newegg account. Well, technically, it’s not his account. It was just registered using his email address. <\/p>\n

I have access to someone’s NewEgg account and don’t want it. If I was
\na nogoodnik I could abuse their credit card. He inadvertently created
\nan account using my email address and I have been receiving his
\nwelcome, invoice, confirmation, and UPS tracking emails. It took a
\nweek but the package was delivered. I have not logged in but can see
\nhis name, address, and phone number. Do I contact him? <\/p>\n

If he’s forgotten his password then I don’t want to be in the position of
\nreceiving his password reset email and then forwarding it to the wrong
\nperson even if they are in the same household – I worry about abuse of
\nthe credit card and my liability. NewEgg will not\/cannot help. What’s
\nmy next move? Contact him? Login, remove the card and\/or cancel the
\naccount? How do I get out of this while protecting myself?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would give the other customer a call, awkward as it may be. What would you recommend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
