Amazon Spam: I use coded email addresses and coded physical addresses so any email or paper spam will identify who sold my address. I have been a fanaticaly loyal Amazon customer for many years and today I received my first paper spam from someone who got my address from Amazon. :(

The envelope was marked from "PO Box 1093, Skokie, IL 60076-9556" sent via presorted first class mail, with a scummy "ACTIVATION NOTICE" written on the envelope.

The letter was dated May 6, 2005, and said "You have been selected by the publishers of InformationWeek, the award-winning information technology newsweekly, to apply for a complimentary subscription... Confirm free subscription at http://confirm.iweek.com.

I hate this. ¶9:12 PM; digg
