Comment on Amazon just told me to log into someone else's account – and delete itparent

Mine is a first and middle initial and last name gmail account. Some woman just bought a Honda and I get email from the dealership. I get contracts and song demos for an American country music singer-songwriter. (I get email from his pickup truck dealership all the time, too.) Someone else just applied for a job at Wells Fargo. Some guy is building a house in North Carolina. Attempts to correct the problem rarely work.

In South Africa, someone with the same initials added his wife's initial before the last name and once I figured that out, I've been able to correct realtors and banks. (I've gotten copies of leases and loan documents.) He and I have exchanged a few emails about it. His wife even invited me to their twins birthday party.
