They may be #1 but the rest of them are #2

Example....I made a purchase at a big box store online and got moved to a different city because they didn't have what I wanted in stock. I didn't notice the change of city in the little box in the upper left corner,I was looking at the item. I bought it and paid and later printed out the receipt. It was then I noticed this was a city 300 miles away. I canceled the order.

In less than a month I'm receiving all kinds of offers and come ons to buy things from that City. To this day I still get them nearly a year later. I get them to buy cars and everything else. Everyone collects and sells your data. Many of them also LIE and hold your CC numbers when you clearly check a box instructing them not to do so.
