This is how at least one company does it:
*********************
We display advertising to consumers who are in debt. Those consumers who have a desire to resolve their debt problem will click on the ad and go to our website (www*dot*InstantDebtReduction*dot*com . After completing our Contact Request Form, we deliver the consumers information to you via email. We also provide our clients with a log in ID and password to access their account online and download their leads into Excel.

All of our leads are Internet generated using a combination of Search Engine, E-Mail, Banners, and other Internet marketing strategies. No incentives are ever used to generate our leads.
************************
The above is from their website: i-marketsolutions*dot*com

So what they do is bait unwary consumers who are looking for help getting out of debt into submitting their information thinking it is a legitimate website.

Then these scumbags sell your information ("active leads") to the debt collectors. And the telemarketers. And the payday lenders. And God knows who else.

There are many, many of these places out there.

I snooped around a bit and I could have one of these lists from them in about 5 minutes just by paying for it.

Nice, huh?

Moral of this story? Never, ever, ever give your info to anyone!

In other news, grass is green. Now stay tuned for our complete coverage of the color of the sky, little hint... its blue!

Look, this is the world we live in. People need to be much more wary of who they give their information to. why would you just willy nilly give your information to a company without researching what they are about?

Yes they do, and if making people aware of HOW they do it helps anyone avoid the hassles and keeps them from falling prey to the zombie debt buyers then I consider that worth my time to help them do so.
:D
