We all get spam. When you say you're not the recipient, the spam probably gets sent out to a list and you're in the bcc (blind carbon copy) field, so you don't show up as a recipient, but you are on the list.
Regarding being careful, that's obviously good, but spammers do try to guess email addresses, and there's little you can do about that. If/when it becomes too much, you may want to consider spam blocking software. I don't know the program PEM suggested, but I find spampal quite effective. It's free as well
