I had a lady send me a zip file that contained a VPN client, certificate and a word document with usernames and passwords to the VPN and a number of industrial control systems at the factory she was a manager of.

She sent it religiously, every 90 days.

Every few months I get scans of X-rays from random clients' teeth from some dentist in South America. I've tried so many times to respond and/or unsubscribe but never hear anything back.
Do you have any clue who she thought you were?
Oh yes, she was emailing a copy of her stuff to “herself”.
Seriously?

How the hell could she think that your email address was hers? I mean, wouldn't she notice that she never got the messages?

Totally serious. There are about a dozen people who regularly do this. One guy has missed 4-5 job interviews.
So is it typos? Like one letter off?

I can imagine someone mistyping an address, and then reusing the "to" link.
