This happens to me all the time - One thing I researched and found out, google does not recognize the dot (.) on email addresses yet it actually accepts it when you register, which is pure bullshit. My email is okechukwu@gmail.com but I receive mails for oke.chukwu@gmail.com and the likes, so if someone has that as their recovery address, I receive it (lots of lots of mails I nowadays just ignore) and apply for my address to be removed from that recovery address.

I just wonder how many of my mails are also received by others, thats why I no longer use gmail for any serious/sensitive emails, unless password protected like bank statements

This seems to be a new security measure. If you login using a browser than the one you have always used, it sends you that email.

I have received such email after login to Firefox and IE

Just got an email from Google informing me that "my" Google account(otienojoelochieng@gmail:not my account & unknown to me) had logged in from Firefox!  Got a bit curious as most of you would,  strange enough the recovery details were my actual email and phone number! 

Any one else experiencing this?
