Weird Mail

I was married to my ex husband for about 10 years and never changed my last name from P* after the divorce. When I remarried last year, I changed to to G* which is my current-husband's last name. (I've left out the actual last name here).

I've recently gotten 3 pieces of Junk mail addressed to my ex husband at my
address. As far as I know he has no idea where I live.

First piece was addressed to Arthur S. P* om some local Lasik place. (His
middle initial is T. - mine is S.)
Second piece was an Ethan Allen Catalogue addressed to Arthur P*
Third piece was from Oakley promoting a local optician.

My best guess is some mailing list somehow matched his name to my ss # and
merged the names (resulting in the wrong middle initial). I've got a call into
Oakley's marketing department trying to find out where they got the mailing
list from. I had no luck calling the first place as they claimed "all the names
are on their computer - but this one wasn't and I'm sure the person I reached
had no clue on promotional mailings.)

I've seen this oddity with stuff coming to Mark P* - my husband's first
name and my previous last name - but that only happened once or twice and
doesn't bother me. (We get a lot of "junk" e-mail due to my husband's
self-employed marketing business, often with odd or mangled last names.) I
still get snail mail as Leslie P* from some sources.
