Recruiters are emailing my DAD with positions for me

I can't figure out if my name is connected to his email address somewhere or they are just playing dumb and emailing him because they see we are associated. They email him but address it to me like they think it's my email address, even though the email address is clearly his name which is clearly not my name.

I'm 37 years old, married with a different last name, and haven't lived at my parents house in over a decade. Every time he forwards me one I respond with a nasty response; it has happened at least 5 times. What gives?

This doesn't sound like real positions, it sounds like phishing. Someone purchased data profiles and is just sending junk emails.

That makes more sense.
