Very slick Jim ! Does it have many miles on it ? Has it ever been in a wreck? It's standard practice for telemarketing agencys to reproduce and than sell to other telemarketing firms purloined information. That's a fact of life and you should know that. They are *continually* recycling information, much of it obtained in unscrupulous ways to expand their data bases. What is a seemingly legitimate inquiry from a "third party under contract" today turns into a flood of junk mail some weeks or months from now. > >I know that unscrupulous businesses seldom want to be identified.

Primenet shares personal/confidential customer information with telemarketing agencys. It's a fact, and anyone considering giving Primenet their address, phone number etc. should be made aware of this. Charlie McCann -- The fact is that Primenet turns over confidential/personal customer information from their data base to Telemarketing Firms to be used for purposes never intended by their customers.
