Happens all the time. I have a.mac address as a long-standing email -- due to Apple's branding shifts for the service over the years that is the same as "name@me.com" and "name@icloud.com" -- people fat-finger their addresses or read them over the phone and there you go.
I've gotten Redbox alerts from VA, Starbucks refills from CA, Sprint bills from CO, and golf club member reference requests from New South Wales. (Mike the anesthesiologist has been known to slack a bit on his time cards.)
The only one I truly had to raise a flag on was Florida Mike's attorneys who were sending me his divorce negotiations. After several tries to get them to correct it, I called the office and explained that my next call would be to the Florida Bar Assoc. if they insisted on sending privileged info to a stranger.
