(my data point ...)

I get mail from a bank for someone who misspelled their email but their name is very close to mine.

I called the bank, reported that I was getting their email and they tried to sell me their identity theft service. ( Give us your SSN to check to see if you ... )

American Express didn't care that one of their subscribers personal information wasn't getting to their customer, but wanted to sell me service.
