Wow, someone still uses actual travel agents? I suppose if anyone isn't going to understand their own email address it would be someone that still uses a travel agent.
I take it you haven't been to New Zealand.
I still use a travel agent, and I'm in the UK.
It's a hell of a lot easier to wander in and ask about which European cities I could easily fly to from Birmingham and then book a short break than it is to try and work that out myself, and the prices I've paid really aren't that different to what I might find online.

Pffh, that's really difficult. It's much easier to go and spend time talking to a stranger.
I've had another couple of these. The first was a lengthy email from someone at a bank as he'd arranged a mortgage appointment with Ross Taylor. He was detailing all the documents he needed to bring and also signed me up for their secure file transfer service. I replied and told him that he had the wrong Ross.
Today I've been signed up to Netflix. The other Ross Taylor is paying £9.99 for this and I can see his card details. They're different to mine which is reassuring but still, it's weird. I've logged into his account and can see a mobile number. I'm going to contact him tomorrow and let him know.

Just change the password and sell it back to him.
£9.99 means he's on the premium plan, which means he can have people watching from different IPs. Just go ahead and use his Netflix.
Errr, I think you mean, "go ahead and share his Netflix." Right?
Keep skipping ahead 2 episodes so everything gets spoilered.
You can set up multiple log-ins for users on Netflix. Just set up one called "Wrong email, dude"

Or put spoilers of whatever he is watching as username.

Nah, set one up called Add User
Find the name of his dead grandfather, add that name as a profile and then add all the old cowboy films they used to watch together to the queue.
That other guy who has the same name as me has signed up for an account on Wish.com.
So far, I've received about 8 emails a day from them with special offers. This is getting annoying.
Oh.. and he's also cancelled his Netflix account.

Today I have received an email asking me to supply a reference for a lady whom I have never heard of.
Of course, she's going to get an absolutely glowing reference!

"Ms X has done some incredible work for our organisation. Sometimes the bodies weren't discovered for years!"
Has a great future working in distribution for the Big Issue.
She integrated so well into the team, I can't even remember her!
Great at working in teams, adapted to new people really well, cleaned the jizz up after filming without having to be asked.

It looks like my doppelganger is going on a flight soon to San Jose from Denver. While there, they will be stopping at the St Julien Hotel and Spa.
I know all this as I've received all the booking confirmations to my emails over night. It's costing them $412.69.
The annoying thing is that it's all automatically been added to my calendar.
**Edit** It also appears that I can log into the trip details via the American Express Global Business travel website. It's ok though, for security purposes they only allow you to log in with the 6 character reference number (found in the subject line of the email I've received), my surname and my email address.
Air tight.

4 and a half stars on Tripadvisor. Looks quite pretty. Why not send a message to them via the hotel? Perhaps a fax of Pacman or something.

Can you get him an upgrade?
"Hello, is that Denver Airport security? Ah good, listen... I've just overheard this guy talking about small white packets of powder in his botty... no, it's fine, glad I could help. Good luck."
Yeah, get him arrested then go yourself
Or just go yourself. You have all the documents, he doesn't.

Some geezer in the US has signed up to two adult dating sites but I’m getting his ‘please confirm your email address’ messages, which I’m a) unsubscribing from, and b) deleting. I wonder when he’s going to realise that there’s a fundamental problem with his account.
'Some geezer in the US', indeed.

Judging by Russell’s 2,000th email from the Freemason order he is not part of... never.
"Isn't part of the Freemason order", indeed.

Just email him and tell him he is using the wrong email address...
I think he’s informed them upwards of ten times?

I wondered why he was bulk ordering pingpong paddles.

It's possible that Trooper was joking when he suggested emailing the person who's handing out the wrong email address...

But I used stalkery web searches to find the intended recipient so I have informed both the person it should have gone to, plus the person who keeps typing his email wrong. The wrong email is he same as mine but with two numbers before the @ symbol so I guess he keeps forgetting.

Apparently i'm getting a delivery from YODEL today. It's got to the point now that I have no idea if any of my emails are actually for me, or for one of my many dopplegangers. I wonder if anything will turn up, I don't remember ordering anything, and the YODEL page doesn't have a delivery address on it.

Perhaps, though you’d just email the person sending emails TO the wrong address, which has been done, acknowledged for removal, but never actually removed. Plus Russell is pretty good at tracking down the intended recipients after having a dull enough email address that everyone thinks it’s theirs.

I used to do that, but 99% don't respond, so I gave up.

I am not as green as you are cabbage looking.I think I'll just arrange some hot dates for him with obviously unsuitable matches.
