I was receiving somebody's water bill in my email addressed to someone in the Netherlands (apparently with a similar name). It contained their address, full name, details of their water bill... The email was in Dutch and I used Google Translate to make sense of it. It came from a no-reply so I couldn't just reply and say 'wrong customer', and there was no customer support email address to be found. I had to go to the company website and hunt down some kind of feedback form and begged them to fix this customer's email address. Eventually I stopped receiving the emails. I guess that company never even verifies email addresses. The company is called Oasen in case you're wondering, name and shame.

Their name wasn't even remotely similar to mine and their email can't have been either. At least that one appeared to be human error so there's a chance that my email pointing out the mistake was read by a human that was actually able to sort it out.
