Default What To Do?

I occaisonally login into facebook to play some of the games.

Last night I went to login in and noticed an extra autocomplete name under the email section.

Can names appear in the autocomplete incorrectly?

If this name must have been typed on my computer can I access this account or put tabs on it?

Actually, it can. Dont know how or why but when Ive gone to long in on another forum its been coming up with other usernames of that forum for some strange reason like that person logged on using my PC before. When I know for a fact theyve never even been to my house...

Maybe a friend used your PC recently too?

It's quite possible that she typed her username incorrectly when she tried to log on and it kept a copy of the wrong username.





Alternatively, she's lied to you and she's been unfaithful and the only way to deal with her is to cut off her hair to shame her.

If the cookies cache etc has'nt been cleaned up for a while it is possible that every email address used on that PC can appear.
Google the email address with "before and after it to see if you get a match, This might tell you who owns it, Or do a search for the email address on facebook when your next logged on.

The name only appeared recently.

The address is a usual address, except the first initial.

Just tried to access the yahoo account saying I had forgotten my password and it mentioned an alternative gmail address.

Can I check if someone's accessed gmail (have cleared cookies in the last few weeks)?

In that case I would search the address in facebook. Go to the search function and you can search by email.
If its for another profile ( I guess thats the big fear) it should find that profile. You could try going to the email server (hotmail, yahoo etc) and do the forgot password log in using secret question function.

But have a go at googling the address, There is a chance it could be as innocent as a contact us button on a website.

Make your own secondary account and send it a mail, take the first bit of the address and say something like:
Hi firstbit,
I saw your address on a web page and was wondering if you're the firstbit that used to have a hotmail address the same that I met on msn and if you've changed your address, I hadn't seen you around in a while...? If not, sorry to have bothered you.
Cheers
Dave

At least you'll know if the account is real and you can then pursue it.

(And you may end up having hot cyber with your own mrs!)

If she has a sister, **** it. Get your own back.

Get a keylogger put on the computer and you'll know for 100% if it bothers you that much
