Asking Eric: When your inbox is flooded with someone else’s messages

Nov 17, 2024

Dear Eric: A year and a half ago, my husband started receiving confusing emails referencing benefits applications that he had not applied for and email newsletters he had not signed up for. At first, we chalked it up to someone with the same name having momentary confusion about their own email address. (This is an email address my husband has had for 20 years.)
