Amex pre-selected, "two" funny

[Revelate]

So I grab my mail on the way out to dinner, not one but two pre-selected offers in my mailbox today.

One for CostCo TE. One for Amex Blue.

Neither addressed to me (and I've lived here for 8 years and am a current Amex card member). In this case, 1+1=0.

I wonder what Amex thinks is going on in my apartment?

Ahh, that's kinda disappointing! We're they at least addressed to the same person?

Interesting, maybe the rprevious resident/s?

After 8 years one would think that they would have updated their databases.

Ah, I forgot to mention that: they were actually to two different people; more amusingly, to single women by the salutation on the address.

Polygamy?

There is a story on lowcards.com about amex being hit with a ddos from a "hacking group". They might have gotten the same preselected offers you got, and it ticked them off.

Edit to remove inappropriate ethnic reference.

Thanks,

Do you receive any offers in your name?

[cashnocredit]

Got one from Amex for a guy that had my POB over 12 years ago. He was also a target of CAs. I used to get tons of mail to him from CAs. My phone number was also associated with another couple of CA targets and I would often get phone calls these assorted CAs trying to extract money. One of them I found details about when I bought something in Sears and they entered my phone number.

Everytime you get a new phone number or POB they tend to come with "histories." Now that they are over 10 years old I haven't had dunning letters or calls in years.

I would not have put the story as such, except that was the story that was reported. Since it is a new group, self professed by the way, I listed it that way. AMEX was also hit as part of he massive spammer ddos from last month. Oh well. The world aint what it used to be.
