Junk Mail reaches New Lows
I just got a credit card solicitation in the mail for Todd Stewart. I know Todd, he did some work for one of my companies, The Security Training Institute. We list my address as the US address for STI although we don’t do any work in the USA.
Todd lives in Singapore. I sincerely doubt he has ever used my USA address for anything. Yet Advanta is sending him a credit card offer to my address.
Someone, perhaps not Advanta, is grabbing names and postal addresses off the web and selling them. Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised!
I think I’ll drop the “Business Reply Envelope” in the mail so they can pay postage. Or maybe I can tape it to a brick first :)
