Someone keeps using my email address. WWYD?

Someone keeps using my very boring firstname lastname icloud account.

I know it sounds like a minor irritation but it's more than just spam. Eg they bought loads of stuff at Walmart using the address so I was getting order confirmation, order dispatch, order arrived emails, product reminder emails etc. It's at least 'medium annoying!'

I'm getting loads of insurance emails, lots of Fox Nation ones. And it's all the same person so not spam as such, but purposeful activity.

Last year she bought flights using my email. I could see her full name, address, names of her children and even had access to cancel the flight.

I got in touch with the place where she bought it and asked them to take the account down. They did - until the next time.

She's just bought a new flight (short internal US flight)! I can cancel it in one click. I'm really tempted to - what would you do?

There was a US phone number in the booking details so I have messaged it (it was on imessage) and asked them to stop using my email address please (I was nice). I sent a follow up saying I would cancel the flight in the morning.

Message has been delivered but not read. Of course that could be fake too.

I can't find her on social media/Facebook. Though I have messaged someone who could be her son.

I just don't know if it's laziness, stupidity, maliciousness. Probably the first. But it's making me grumpy when I think about it (which is only when I get a new email with all her details in it!).

Would deleting her flight be a step too far?

Friend is a policeman, he says if you cancel any of the other emailers items, you can be prosecuted for malicious intent. Also due to it showing up as your email, they can and will trace you.

Well, it depends, doesn't it? What if I'm worried about fraud and someone ordering things under my identity?

Anyway, I haven't cancelled anything. When I wanted to do that I was in a grump because I received a bunch of emails late at night. As various people in similar situations have said, it is very annoying when it happens month after month, year after year, especially when it's the same person making the same mistake yet not learning from it. I totally understand the odd accident!

I emailed all the emails I could find for this person and most bounced back. I made up some closely related emails too - no reply.

I got a reminder for the flight yesterday (it happens in the next week), so she'll be fine if she turns up to it, she just can't access it online - which must've happened last time she did this.

She may have seen a message from me (my original texts or emails since) and be too nervous / lazy to reply, so I will wait and see if I get anything 'new' from her. If I do, I'll write to her.

After that I'll just have to grit my teeth and delete emails and try not to be tempted to cancel things...
