I had a similar thing happen with an Australian insurance company sending me contract details for some woman who had her car and home insurance with them. I don't know if she added the wrong email by mistake or their IT fucked up connecting data from a third party service (I've never been in Australia, and have never made business with the insurance company), but it was hard work getting them to fix it.
Their support did nothing. Their privacy department did nothing. What finally set things into motion was complaining to their regulatory authority. Wouldn't you know it, within two days, I had a personal email saying they'd remove my email from the account, and they haven't emailed me since.
- xattt 4y agoWould emailing the insurance company in question and saying you were looking to cancel your insurance policy be an option?
- luckylion 4y agoPossibly, but I didn't want to cause their client any trouble by trying to cancel her policy. I'm pretty sure she didn't do it to annoy me. And if she did I'd be amazed by the creativity and effort she put into trolling some nobody on the other side of the planet.
