I'm not sure how, but I have received a handful (less than 5) messages that included me but I am certain were not intended for me. 

I'm checking the settings, but not seeing anything.

No, you definitely should not be seeing them unless you have been added to the recipients or the PM was reported to you.

Ok.  I can reach out to them.  I just wanted to make sure it wasn't oversight on my part.

HOW did you get them?   If you got them in EMAIL, chances are the user responded to the email instead of logging in an responding to the PM in the PM system....

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.

I think that is what happened(s).  it's only been a few times by different folks.

Shall we mark this solved then? At least temporarily?

As long as the PM text is quoted in the email, it will happen. Again, and again, and...
IMO, quoting or not should be selectable, off as default.

Most manage to actually read \ understand things (do not eply \ reply here etc). Some (the standard idiot % of the population) do not, no wonder phishing etc is successful.

Ain't that the truth. Too bad that percentage number is so high.
