Gmail ignores dots when deciding how to deliver messages. So both the
address with the dot and the address without the dot belong to you and
you alone. What you are seeing is simply someone mistakenly typing in
or giving out one of your addresses when they intend to give out some
other address.

See:

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to stop other people from
accidentally using the wrong address. But you can setup a filter in
gmail to move all such messages to the trash.
