Every Month I get an email from no-reply@vodaphone in my gmail account. The account is <firstname.lastname@gmail.com>. Neither name is particularly common, but there was a 'fashion' for the first name around the time I was born. I knew of 6 people in this city with my first & last names in the 1970s. The city only had a million or so at the time.
I never had an account with vodaphone, a poor mobile carrier IMO. I can't find a live email for vodaphone.ie to return it to.
Can someone with White/Grey/Black Hat capabilities find me a few live email addresses in vodafone.ie, please so I can start returning them? I'm pretty sure someone entered his gmail address wrong.

Enter your email and click on: "I forgot my password"
It will email you instructions. After you login, change the email address to hillary@crowdstrike_server.ukraine, or whatever your favorite fake email address is. Problem solved.

I tried that. It then requests the phone number, which I don't have.
They don't have an unsubscribe link, it's not promotional email. I did find a postmaster address and sent one off there. Let's hope.
Reporting UCE:
Get the IP address of the last (topmost) Received: header
whois that IP -- get an abuse address
send the entire email including headers to that abuse address -- often abuse@; seldom postmaster@
That last step can be a bit tricky. If using a GUI client, one usually has to "view source" and copy-paste from there. We do it with a perl script that reads the file (Maildir file) on disk and writes to the email being created.
I bet it's got nothing to do with Vodafone. It's just a scammer hoping to get money out of you.
Hardly. It's been going for years, but I just deleted them, slightly pissed off. It's some guys bill, they email him he's going to be late, but his bank order comes through.

I'll probably go that road. No white/black hat types here - all clean stuff.
