March 28, 200818 yr Hi all, Since I've bought a new Subaru, I have been received several surveys from non Subaru companies and organizations and most of them says that I have a chance to win the prize like $30K, $10K things like that. Subaru dealership promised and I signed the contract that they don't disclose my private info.... I guess these organizations get the infos from DOT or something.... They know what car I have. Since its my first purchase of the brand new vehicle in US, I would like to know others' comment on this kind of survey.
March 28, 200818 yr DMV's do sell thier lists, so it may have come from there too. I use the circular (in my case square with teeth) file for this kind of mail. nipper
March 28, 200818 yr Also if you financed your vehicle they can tell you just got a vehicle loan by looking at your credit report. For a soft inquiry they might not know the details but I would imagine those co's can tell trw etc 'we want to rent a mailing list with people who got a car loan within the last 30 days'.
March 28, 200818 yr It isn't only LOANS - I paid $$ (wrote a check) for the Taurus and got JUNK mail for months. IF I still lived at my other place it would have made nice fire starter Makes cute shreds, though. :-p (no fireplace here - and for those of you basking in sunshine - it's the SNOW BELT HERE TODAY + c.c.c.cold. That's "under 40" to us. Rain is a lot easier to get off the car )
March 29, 200818 yr Author All Thanks for the information about how the marketing companies do their business here. I think, just let those junk mails go into the shred machine.
