you're not part of the class action suit about Netflix selling info?

Oh I got an email about a class action lawsuit the other day. Guess I need to read it.

Netflix not only sold your address info, but your viewing history so data miners (like WalMart and Target) could more effectively pinpoint who you are and send offers.

Did you know you can opt out of all prescreened credit card offers?

It won't get rid of all of them but it will stop a lot of the crap. It seems that the credit reporting agencies like Equifax and TransUnion like to sell names as well.

Thanks! I declared bankruptcy back in 2005 or so and have gotten credit card offers almost every day since then.

Actually I just read through the email. We get no money. Sigh.
