I didn't think it was possible for E-Mail addresses to be duplicated but I keep getting booking confirmations for somebody who has a very similar one to myself. Their name has one letter different from mine as in
Example McF instead of MacF
I have tried contacting the hotel chain but as to date no response
Looks like you are going on holiday ;)

fair play to you for trying to contact them back. I'd probably have just deleted it.

I've recieved e-mails from my e-mail address, asking if I want to buy Viagra. Baffled me like hell.

It's called spoofing, it's not actually coming from your email address I think they just muddle with the packets and make it appear to be coming from wherever they want.

I've had some from someone with the same name who has obviously got their email address wrong. I've had emails from his family plus emails from when he's put his email down wrong on forms. I've even threatened Audi UK with court action after they spammed me because of it (and got the ICO to tell them to cease and desist).
