人違いしてるかも！って英語でなんて言うの？

By using this phrasing, you are telling the person you are talking to that you believe that they have made a mistake in sending you the last message. By starting the sentence with “I'm sorry” you are not admitting to anything, you are just politely telling the sender that they may have possibly made a mistake.

Often emails or messages go to the wrong destination. When someone calls, I usually say "I think you have the wrong number," but for a message, it's nice to respond with "I don't think this message is meant for me. I am not...(a name)... and I have never participated in...(an event)". Formally, we can say or write "recipient error" but that is more for an official statement of a wrong receiver.

Quite often, a million virtual leaflets are sent out to a million unsuspecting recipients. It is part of daily life to receive unsolicited emails from random people. Generally there is no need to take note, be concerned about, or spend more than two seconds thinking about such mail. However, depending on your connection with the sender it may be appropriate to say something like: "Did you mean to send this to me?"

Sorry, wrong number. - You can say this if someone called you, but they meant to call someone else. I think you may have the wrong person. - This is used more generally. You can say this if someone contacted you by email, message, mail or phone, but they messaged the wrong person.

By saying "You must think" you are questioning what someone is trying to do. If someone makes a mistake you can also use this. By saying "confused with someone else" you are saying that the other person should be talking to someone else.

All three phrases are acceptable and can be used when receiving a message that isn't meant for you. When saying "sorry", it doesn't mean you are apologizing for something wrong you did as it is not your fault but it shows a more courteous response than just saying "Wrong number". Hope this helps! XXX: is the name they have sent thinking it's you.

When we get a message that makes not sense...it is usually and email spam scenario...however... just to be sure I might ask the sender?? "It could just be spam or an honest mistake...but, I must ask; was this meant for me?"
