Comment on What are the ramifications of letting an old domain that was used for email go back into the market?

  When I opened my business there was a company that made Android apps that had the same name. They since closed and I own the domain. I still get their Facebook and play store emails. I have tried to stop emails from both but that appears to be impossible.

    Recover the accounts and close them?

      Might be illegal

        If the company is gone now then, I guess it would harm whoever bought the rights to the apps or the name? In which case they can contact that entity to sort it out

      The Google account’s recovery is tied to a phone number, and the Facebook account wanted me to identify pictures or ask friends for help.

      I was not trying to take over those accounts, merely stop all of the emails. I have contacted both Google and Facebook about it and have done nothing in 5+ years.
