The guy with my name who lives in Cork, Ireland—a lovely place—and gives out my email address all the time, just signed me up for the Irish Rail newsletter. He doesn't appear to have bought a ticket or anything and this is a side effect, he just wanted train news...which I now get. Great.

I have the exact same problem. I've gotten correspondance from his sister, as well as divorce documents from his attorney.

A different BC in western Massachusetts does the same, including having tried to open a business bank account under my email address. I noticed it was a small MA bank so figured it was that guy again, so I called the branch and they said he was in there in person doing it.

He just got some pest control work done and had the invoices sent to me. The Ireland one just had his car repaired too. Glad they're taking care of maintenance tasks.

He prob wanted the free WiFi on the train. I use someone else's email all the time. But dave@dave.com prob deserves it.

That makes sense. His cell phone bill and his kid’s school make a little less sense, but hey, who’s got time for all these emails?
