C'punks, So far, no one has come up with anything stronger than specula- tion about my database question. Some "anonymous" told me how easy it was to buy *phone numbers* on CD-ROMs. Great, but I didn't give the guy my phone number. On Thu, 14 Dec 1995, Rich Graves wrote:
One of the easiest ways to get quick address changes is to subscribe to the US Postal Service's mail forwarding lists. They're advertised in direct marketing magazines.
Fine, but I haven't put in any changes of address with the PO.
Local and long distance phone companies probably sell telephone forwarding lists too.
Yeah, maybe, but my original question was, "does anyone KNOW how the trick was done? ^^^^ S a n d y P.S. I'm not looking for movie makers, but for movie investors. Jeez ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These CD-ROMs can be searched for most any combination of name, street name, city, state, zip and area code. Given a relatively uncommon name and a zip code, it's not surprising they could come up with only one hit.

If you give us your current and previous name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, social security number, and a list of people you communicate with, then we might be able to give you a more specific answer. Otherwise, and probably even so, no. There's too many different ways to invade your privacy for a third party to determine which particular method was used. -rich
