fraudulent website account

I'm not a computer-savvy computer/internet user but I'm hoping I can get a logical explanation for a personal situation I find myself in.  My girlfriend has found a singles website account registered to my email address, but it's a website that I'm positive I didn't register on.  Before we got together I did try internet dating and created accounts on several sites but not the one in question.  I didn't last very long in the internet dating thing and deleted the accounts that I had created with these websites long ago, but I still get phishing emails from some of these sites, Yahoo being the first that comes to mind.  Anyhow, there doesn't seem to be any convincing my girlfriend that I'm not screwing around on her (I'm not, and no,,,,,,she's not reading this).  I told her to log into my personal email account and check the history so she could see for herself that there's been no emailing back and forth with this website (or any other singles websites).  Could this account have "migrated" from one website to another ?   I guess it's possible that I did create a profle with this website but I sure as heck don't remember doing so.  It would have been 3-5 years ago if I had.   I was able to go thru the email link to the website and "delete" the website account.

With yahoo mail you can create filters depending on emails. Create a filter that checks to see if the body contains "online dating" or something to that effect. Then make it so that the emails get deleted  automatically. Your unwanted emails should stop.

it's probably a website that made an account for you and wants you to log in and use it. it's like the spam emails that tell you your 'overseas account' has millions of dollars in it even if you don't have an account.
