Along with the info fusion stuff.

I just got a telemarketing call from some outfit claiming to work with Google and Yahoo. The call was about selling me web services. This woman proceeded to tell me more about my business than I knew myself. She called me by name, referenced specifically the type of business, etc. NONE of this info is posted on the 'net. I was very impressed, but not favorably. I asked this woman where she got all this info about my business and she advised me that it was a third party called Axiom. This data mining/fusion process is very well advanced.

Isn't this just information given when your company was registered?

The company is not registered anywhere except with the organization which issues EINs. It cannot be found in any public info database as it doesn't exist there.

There are literally multiple square miles worth of computers performing data warehousing and analysis on every single bit of data the controllers can get their hands on - and this is just the private sector.

I'm sure you could speculate just fine midnight rambler on the level of mined data analysis being done by various governments.

Mind boggling.

Disagree with you the data does exist on someones data base and it was given or sold to the company that contacted you.

There is no other way unless people are going to courthouses and physicaly copying data.
You and your info is on the net, or the private networks that some company's use on the Internet.

Just saying!

I'm telling you the info I'm referring to has been 'fused' together out of thin air as the specific info absolutely cannot be found at the local or state level anywhere since it simply isn't there. I cannot tell you any more as it's beyond your pay grade and that info would appear to you something like this: hgi mrim gwooop owco bt yprq.

Did you file anything with the Secretary of State in your state? such as fictitious name or "doing business as", LLC or S Corporation or C Corporation?

ANY of those things result in information becoming either publicly available or easily found for the price of a records search. In some states you must also pay for an ad to run in the local paper as a form of legal disclosure.

Is it possible any of this has happened, or a lawyer you hired may have done this on your behalf?

I can vouch for these data mining abilities. I once recieved a telephone call from a company that sells penile leg straps for men who are extremely well-endowed and must use these devices to prevent excession CB. How they found me is a mystery - I must assume they used numerous internet factoids to determine that I am phallically blessed. Ironically, their largest size did not meet my needs. ;D But, the lady on the 'phone was very friendly....very friendly. ;)

Mamboni, suggest that you come clean ... you bought a large Monsanto GMO cucumber shortly before they discontinued producing them, due to the fact that the cukes were nearly inedible , though they did store very well without decay ... through a freak accident involving the cuke, a microwave with a defective "open door" sensor, a hamster, some stolen TP, 3 yards of duct tape and some cornstarch, you became the man you are today.

:lol

O.K you are right and I am wrong, that your info is not available on the net.
It then had to be the purple people (Related to little green men) that came in
the dark of night and scanned the info out of your head.. :'(

You have been SCANNED! ;D

Meh..., how friendly can you become on a phone line? Anyway I know they target men with phone calls, who have replied and ordered penis enlargement products from their sister company, that markets through e-mail. They have found that it is almost only men who bought the chili penis enlargement cream, who would buy the penile strap, through market research...

However, most people preferred to just dispensed with the flowery Latin and obscure pornstar references, and just called you a big dick! ;D

If you file a DBA or business name with the Secretary of State and then get a Sales Tax and Use Permit, you get bombarded by marketers...so, the state evidently sells information or gives it away. Nobody can get information on you unless you leave a trail of some kind...but you know that.

Good. Better to be scanned than it is to be scannned.

I hate being scannned.
