Off topic, but a method to determine who sold your contact information.
Whenever I sign up for a service I'll add letters to the end of my first name. I've done this for over 15 years and all of my adult life.
Because of this, I've been able to determine the government is where most of my personal information is sold and used for market material against me.
Disney is also another large culprit of spam. Although, they've kept my information internal to the companies owned or affiliated by them.
