Reply to comment by GeoWannaBe in is anyone else getting this? by TAmber1213

So here's something to think about. I used to live in a house with Versant power in my dad's name. I then moved to a place with CMP power. My parents still owned the place with Versant, though, so to help them out I kept paying the power bill there, but left it in my dad's name. So now I'm at a house in CMP's service area, paying a bill for Versant. And I'm getting flyers that are in my dad's name saying "Versant customer". The ONLY way they could have gotten that info is if Versant themselves sold it to them.

Yes, I agree. They bought a database of customers from Versant, no doubt. I imagine those lists are more expensive than just buying a list of resident names in any given area. Target your audience or spam them is the choice depending on how much you want to spend on advertising I guess.
