Yep, I have a relatively common name and @gmail.com address. Last week, some guy with my name signed up for Instagram with my email adddress and started posting without ever verifying his email.

I reset his password and tried to close the account after he kept trying to access it by resetting his password again. Instagram support asked me to send a clear photo of myself holding up some random number to prove it was me. Nope lol.
