I know everything about my email doppelganger except her real email address. To be fair, seems like she does not know it either.

I've matched some of them by googling ('a'..'z').each {|l| puts "first#{l}last@gmail.com"}

The one who handed out thousands of business cards, and who has the same MI as the start of our last name, has caused the most sensitive information to be sent to me, by far.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying you Google.

The first name and last name with each middle initial e.g. if you know they're John Smith then search for johnasmith@gmail.com, johnbsmith@gmail.com, etc.

Thank you, and fun fact: johnsmith@gmail.com is a special address that returns a 'does not exist' error.
