Son of a...! I just got mail from Mellon Investor Services, asking if I can confirm that I am the Mark S that was living at a certain residence in Orlando, ten years ago. It's in reference to assets on this one share of stock I own in a company that I received as a gift, that was paying dividends of something like $0.34 a year. They can't find my address anymore. The sinister thing is that I looked this Mellon company up, and they're a subsidiary of ChoicePoint, a company that compiles databases about people, a la J. Edgar Hoover, and sells them. Quite a racket they have going as middleman spies. I'll have to contact the company I have the stock in directly.
