I got a lot of spam in my lunchtime emails today.

Someone has decided to be pathetically childish and sign me up for a bunch of newletters and free trials of this that and the other.

It was kind of silly for them to do that, especially from my home email address....because there are only a handful of people who have it.  Most people have my gmail or our family yahoo adresses.

They also made a mistake when they signed me up for a free trial version of something - because when I went to cancel it, I found that because I didn't have the user name and ended up having to call the company.  I explained to them that I didn't sign up for it, and asked if they could tell me the IP address and location of whoever did sign me up for it. 

They can. 

So, now I'm going to call and email the rest of the companies who I got spam from today and see if they can provide me with the same information. 

It's going to be interesting to see where these fraudulent applications have come from (and yes, they are fraudulent). 

Anyone else have an idea who could be doing this?  I think that we ought to start taking bets as to which city and state the IP address will show up as originating in....
