It really is amazing how dumb advertisers can be. Within a week of buying a new place they flooded me with offers to sell it. They work cold list just for good measure.

Just this week I started getting PetsMart ads for Jason with my last name. I have no idea where that came from.

I have taken to a new tactic for phone calls. I pick up the phone but don't say anything for about 10 to 15 seconds then speak a tentative hello. Calls that are automatically dialed solicitations hang up thinking that it was a problem. Humans will hang on the line.
