>>I never created a personal Skype account, but it appears I have one (I get email from them). The same with FB and Tweeter. Never created accounts with them either. But receive email tell me I should update my account and page too. Also, it appears I have many friends I have never met, or want to, but they feel the need to share their life with me.

>Interestingly, when I paid off the mortgage (in bare 33 months!) all of a sudden I started getting dozens of offers to refinance my debt. In snail mail. These guys must have known something I didn't.

I get ground-mail and phone calls tell me I am late with my car payments. I have not owned a car for over five years. And even then, they were pre-used cars, and I pay for them outright.

My spam filter for that type of mail is a trash can near my mailbox, and caller ID on my phone.

Perhaps in the near future, in the world of IoT, we will smart mailboxes and smarter phones that will keep this type of junk from me.
