I'm in a similar boat. A UK bank thinks I'm one of their customers (someone with a similar name). The reply address is no-reply@ and I'm not about to call a foreign bank.

I had the same happen with a AU insurance company that also made it hard to reach them.

I sent an email to their regulator that this company keeps sending me confidential information about one of their clients. It took one day until I received an email from the company informing me that they've corrected the mistake and I shall no longer receive any emails, and it worked, I haven't received a single one since.

Maybe I’m lazy but why do above four posters do so much effort?

I just mark as spam and or block the sender

Quick note that if you use a proper email hosting service, or host yourself, you can add a sender block rule to eliminate this nuisance.

Are there email services which don't allow you to block addresses or keywords?

From: no-reply@ and simlar fake senders should just result in immediate rejection of the mail at submission time.

Tempted to set that up on my server.

Getting a U.K. bank account without having a U.K. mailing address isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. Maybe someone would be interested in acquiring it from you.
