Sounds like a security flaw. I’d submit it to a big bounty program.

The other person probably just entered OP's email address. I don't really get what OP is saying but make sure to note that periods are normalized out.

they are saying us.middlename.mannk@gmail is seeing receipts for us.mannk@gmail.com

The dots don't matter.

Exactly this.

I see, but these "receipts" are just emails. I would be extremely surprised if someone else's emails are getting routed to your gmail inbox. Seems very unlikely...

haha you should see the folks who are like:

jennifer@gmail.com marksmith@gmail.com neilpatel@gmail.com

etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, user error is more likely here, knowing the security in place at Google. That said, I suggested submitting it since the exercise of creating a repo will make it clear one way or another.

Win / win either way for OP. Learning opportunity or a bit of cash in hand for relatively little investment.
