I’ve had a similar thing where a chase customer used my email address to open an account. I don’t have a Chase account. I used their online customer service to ask them to remove that address. It was hard to get them to interact as they kept asking me for my Chase account number. Eventually they said that they removed it.

For a while the emails stopped but then they started again. this time I went into a Chase bank and went through the same song and dance. They said that they removed the email address. Again, the emails stopped for a while but later restarted. I gave up and setup a filter to delete those emails.

This is not the only account where someone put my email address into their account. My address is [e-mail] and a lot of other people with my name seem to not know what their address is. Some are things where they probably want the email address to be right such as a wireless carrier account or a job application. Why do companies not verify email addresses when setting up accounts?

I have [e-mail]. Every day I get a password reset email. Plenty of other transactional emails of all kinds of accounts of people named 'myname' and other close variations. Thankfully I chose a myname+something for my gmail which I use currently...
