Racer,
have you entered any contests lately, on the web or IRL? Have you visited any web sites that require personal information?I'm thinking that this sounds less like a personal attack, and more like a marketing group just got your name/address.
Even things like doing a 2nd mortgage, buying a house, credit card app -- many of these things get your name/address "out there". It's possible that over-zealous marketers are filling out cards for you, trying to get you to just say, "OK, I'm getting it, I'll just pay for it."
If you haven't seen any of the "potential evil" people in years, it's really unlikely that any of them would suddenly start sending you junk in the mail.
I'd bet it's more in the marketing realm, honestly. Unless it gets worse, I think you might just be the "lucky" recipient of catalogues/etc.
good luck!
take care,
JenStar
