I get spammed in a whole different way. I share my name with an organisation: The Firstname Lastname Organization. Every so often, some recruiters email me résumés of people hoping to work at the Firstname Lastname Organization. Every time, I reply asking them to stop sending me these résumés, explaining that I am not the Firstname Lastname Organization and I am not hiring.

Even being told that they have the wrong address seems to be no deterrent for some recruiters. One day soon, even the richest YC alumni are going to be eclipsed by whoever figures out how to disintermediate these pricks into oblivion.
