>>>>>>Hi,
>>>>>>
>>>>>>How could Gmail email make a mistake of sending me emails addressed to someone else? His (the other person) email does not have a period in the email address. The rest of the email address is the same. I even called the sender (this is a legitimate organization) to let them know and we were both surprised that in their system the email address was entered correctly. Yet I am getting his emails.

This is not fake. I called the telephone number in the email (legitimate organization in my state). And I talked to the woman who sent the email; she was confirming his meeting tomorrow with two other people. We verified that the email they have on file is NOT my email (no period) and yet I am getting his email.
