[QUOTE="modernman, post: 348721, member: 11789"]this was probably a mistake made by a third party that processes the magazine's subscription. nothing "personal" was disclosed, only public information. there's a lot of free public information out there if you know how to search the net. for example, go to [URL="http://www.peoplefinders.com"]www.peoplefinders.com[/URL] and type in your name and address. you may see your spouse's name, your parents' names, your kids' names and your siblings' names associated with you. if you share any "public" records (bank accounts, real estate, life insurance policy, etc.) with them you may find the association. now, that's scary! apparently, the definition of "public" information and "private" information is not what most of us expect. there are other sites that allow you to see who holds title to your home, what the assessed taxes are, etc. there's lots of potentially damaging info out there and if your internet search skills are good you can find out lots about anyone. here in california you can pay the dmv and get the car owner's name and address. in the past you could get it anonymously, but now they track who pays for the info. i've searched the net and found the name of the living trust that i've set up with my wife, and i've found addresses of rental properties we own linked to our trust name. what can i do about it? nothing![/QUOTE]
