My Gmail address is given to banks, Electricity Department, Water Department and so on and so forth. Let us assume, my email address is John@GMail.com. There are lots of other users, who have email address such as: JohnG@GMail.com, John.G@GMail.com, Johnn@GMail.com.
The banks, when emailing the other Johns, incorrectly type their email address as John@GMail.com which results in a lot of (unwanted) email to me.
I cannot mark the email as spam because, even I will receive my statements from the same banks.
Any suggestions on how to sort this problem?
Or, do I pick up a bottle of chilled beer and start reading Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure and relax that my life is far, far better than theirs? 🙂

I would reply to the banks, and tell them that they are emailing the wrong person, after all, you are probably receiving confidential information, which could result in legal problems...Email their support department, and/or visit them in person, and make sure you go high enough on the management, so that they will take you more seriously and correct the problem quicker...
