A little over a year ago I purchased a beltdrive from Norvil at someone elses reccomendation. This was before I knew much about them. No problem, it shows up and all is fine. Shortly after that, I started receiving lots of snail mail spam and some inbox spam from various charities and other business's soliciting for whatever. The weird part was that my name was misspelled every time the same way. They had added my first initial to the end of my last name. At the time I didn't make any connection, I had no reason to. I figured I mistyped my name into something and Google was up to their usual tricks.? Now I don't know for sure that Norvil is up to no good, just presenting the evidence.
So today I get an unsolicited catalogue from them and my name is misspelled the same way?? Now I've kept every receipt from my Commando money pit, so I go look for the beltdrive receipt. Sure enough my name is misspelled the same way?? Obviously I didn't notice at the time, so I'm wondering did Norvil share my info or what?? How else would all of these other entities get that misspelled name? Obviously I don't trust Google but I never received any mail or spam to this misspelled name until after my transaction with Norvil. I'm curious what some of you think.
