conversation: User (YouAreTheGovt): "My wife began to receive a ton of emails from a California base credit union (we live no where near California) recently. We first suspected there was an attempt of stealing her identity to take out a massive loan or something like that but it turns out that someone simply miswrote the pertinent email and put my wife’s active email. We called the credit union and they explained that they would be taken our email off of their list of advertisers and promotions but they couldn’t possibly stop the statements. What? Any ideas as to what we can do here? Not sure this belongs here or not, but I couldn’t think of a better sub off-hand."
  Self: "I had the same thing with Wells Fargo, I even tracked down the person who had the account and still they didn't change it.\n\nSo I just changed my email settings to auto move those emails into a junk folder and ignored them.  No skin off my nose."
  User (YouAreTheGovt): "I would like to at least inform the individual that their statement or totally unsecure."
  Self: "If you can figure out who they are, go for it, write them a letter."
  User (YouAreTheGovt): "Ha...I can’t. That information is confidential. Apparently my wife’s email is not."
  Self: "if they are emailing you statements wouldn't the person's name and address appear on the statement?\n\n"
  User (YouAreTheGovt): "“Dear &lt;wife’s email address&gt;”"
  Self: "So are you getting a "statement" showing account number, transactions, etc or not"
  User (YouAreTheGovt): "Account number only shows the last few digits. No name on the account."
  Self: "OK, then just give up, set up your email to dump those emails automatically into the trash and move on.\n\nThe account holder will either figure it out or not. \n\n"
