I have had several in the past, which should have gone to a person of the same name in the US. |

I guess the best way might be to reply to the sender (if you are sure it's not somebody trying to scam you) asking them to check their contact details and advise your "twin". They may have a mailing address for contact if the email they have is wrong. |

I agree with Jonesey - so continue to delete the emails as they sound a bit dodgy to me, if I received anything like that I would report it as a phishing scam. |

Many years ago, at work we used to get numerous calls on a normal landline, that were fax calls, of course the call failed in the end we managed to divert a call to a fax machine, turned out they had the dialling code wrong, |

I ment to add I would not use the "home" address myself but contacting a company / hotel you can verify should be fairly safe. |

This was a " your cancelled order number xxxxxxxxx" looked exactly like a confirmation, not as you say the usual scam stuff it was at christmas and I had lots on order. |
