Ever had your details sold?

Hello All,

Right, here's my profile......27 Years old, Economics & Business teacher, single, own a Ford Focus, 82.5kg and into pure strength, use a bit of gear, had a hair transplant, and from North England.

For the past few months, I have been getting bombarded with junk emails trying to sell me everything that fits that description from mortgages, to cheaper car insurance, to credit cards, and lots and lots of pharmacy products relating to pro hormones and anti aging. Now, something leads me to believe that some MoFo I either bought on line from, or someone that I registered with on line have sold on my details. What next, my mailbox at home?

when you register for websites and for ordering through the mail/Internet, data gathering is the sole purpose. some companies use this data to further target and segment their direct marketing and others sell their databases to companies. such is life.
