Below is a list of solicitations received via U.S. Mail as a result of a street address appearing on an internet domain name registration record (aka: whois).
I know all of these solicitations to be a result of that one specific listing because it is the only location where that specific address has been published.
To maintain the accuracy of this experiment, I do not reveal the specific street address to anyone. Nor do I reveal the domain name used in this experiment. (Exceptions apply, such as reporting possible illegal materials that may arrive.)
