I get medicare.gov emails I can't unsub from (because some idiot wrote down their email address wrong - obviously no double opt in either).

Do a password reset, then change the email.

Well, then you’re technically knowingly accessing someone else’s account. Which, I’m not a lawyer, but that also sounds like you’re opening yourself up to an (admittedly small) chance of criminal fraud.

Sounds like it's your account, but the name is misspelled.

I think that would require the social security number, which isn't in the email.
