I keep seeing folks say they can identify who it was by the name the packet came to. Which confuses me. Am I the only person in the world who puts accurate information into sponsor sign-up forms? It never even occurred to me to use different names or different addresses and such, because I wanted to make sure the checks would get to me and I'd be able to cash them!
About the only thing I "fudge" with sponsors is my phone number, because I *hate* getting phone calls.

From what I've read, many people put a code at the end of the name of their company (ditto with emails) which allows them to track which companies are selling their info, spamming them, etc.
For instance, my company's name is Online Beach, Inc. Under this theory, I would sign up as Online Beach, Inc. 001 with Maxcash, Online Beach, Inc. 002 with CE, etc.
In hindsight, I wish I had been smart enough to do it.
