Holy cow, we have the same problem. I only got firstnamelastname@gmail.com so I only get folks with permutations of my first and last name, but to this day I still get my Nigerian counterpart's bank statements. I've got my UK counterpart's PayPal payments for artwork they did. I've had my Australian counterpart's job recruiters reaching out to me for months. It's kind of embarrassing when I tell them they have the wrong email...
Hah. I've a counterpart that I'll happily pass stuff on to as I've worked out her actual email but the rest are super annoying. So many sign ups!
