Still not learning

So some of you may remember about me receiving confirmation for a trip to Paris and then later on login information for wi-fi access on a train from Paris to my email. Three guesses what I got today, and the first two don't count. If you said "An email for this lady again" you'd be right.
Seems Ms. Lastname has enrolled her boys in baseball camp and put my email address in as the contact. I got a receipt with her name and address, so now I know who the person is and where she lives. I tried emailing the camp back to explain the problem, but it bounced. Seems it was an auto email address that you can't reply to. A live person did contact me asking about the boys ages and I was able to inform her that she will need to contact Ms. Lastname in another fashion because she has once again given out my email address as hers.
But you know, now that I know Ms. Lastname's full name and address, I am sorely tempted to do a reverse look-up on her phone number. Maybe having the internets calling her will get her to realize that using the wrong email address for stuff can be a bad idea. I can just imagine the conversation.
"Hi Stacy[1]! How have you been? How are things over in Nowhere, OH? I hear the boys are going to be at baseball camp this summer. Pretty exciting. Did you enjoy your trip to Paris? It sounds like so much fun. Where else did you travel? I know the train ride there must have been interesting. Who is this? This is the person whose email address you keep accidentally giving out. That's how I know all this shit about you. Stop doing it." *click*
I think my good deed of the day is not moving forward with this idea. Stay good, Tsaiko. Stay good!

Hopefully the baseball camp people can set her straight.
