It seems my unlisted phone number and rarely-provided address have only protected me for a short time. First there was the mailing from State Farm. It’s interesting to speculate as to where they could have collected my name and address.

To this point, the only companies who know I live here are:

• Qwest (but I was supposedly taken off their lists)
• AT&T
• City of Ames (the utility is owned by the city)
• Hunziker Property Mgmt.

Given that the mailing came from State Farm HQ in IL}], I’m going to finger AT&T. Bastards.

Of course, even worse is that yesterday I got my first telemarketing call. I’m hoping it’s just a computer dialer (i.e., dialing all numbers.) But perhaps they’re looking for someone else: just moments ago I got another call asking for Dan. Unlike last time, this one was a female. Those at least are fun…
