OK in that case the solution may be sending the "other" person a short note letting them know you are receiving mail that appears to have been meant to go to them as the cause could be they have an incorrect email addy being used when they type it in in a website (possibly forgetting to add the numbers)
The repettition could be caused by them having set that email up to be auto inserted when a website calls for an email address and they are not aware they are using incorrect details as when they start typing tom..... it auto inserts the full email for them.
I'm not saying it isn't a fault caused by misdirection just that it would be the first time I have heard of that happening.
EDIT: If the response to that from them is "no I have never used that site or ordered anything" then we could be back to it being spam or some other device being used to give the impression it is "legitimate" to get you to reply to it and thereby confirm your address is valid.
