Junk mail, although annoying, can also be pretty funny. I have a P.O. Box for Gabe Consulting, which also comes in handy whenever I’m signing up for something and want to protect the privacy of my home address.
All of my own domains, and those that I register for my clients, use my P.O. Box. I get a lot of junk mail there, mostly from domain registrars and hosting companies trying to steal away my business. How these companies get a hold of my information is easy to figure out. What I can’t figure out, however, is how my one-person DBA ended up with its own VP.
For the life of me, I don’t remember hiring this guy:
F ANTHONY BURKE
VP
Gabe CONSULTING
Maybe Yahoo Search Marketing knows something I don’t. Anthony, if you’re out there, why haven’t I seen you around the office lately, you slacker?
Two years ago today I wrote about our encounter with Attack Cat, the most ferocious cat ever to walk the face of the Earth.

A friend’s company had a similar issue where it receive a promotional mailing to [Some Person], CEO. Getting a huge kick out of this, they put up a fake bio for this mysterious CEO on the company web site. During the dot.com era, they would often get calls from people who had met this CEO at a party, conference, sales meeting, etc., and where trying to get back in touch with him.
