[Ham-Computers] Odd-Ball SPAM - Telemarketing Problem

In the past week, I have been getting a number to telemarketing 
calls, all as a follow-up to an email I presumably sent them.  One 
was from a group that supplied some type of equipment to 
diabetics,  another from an RV Park,  etc.  I explained that I was 
not a diabetic,  etc.....and it was a waste of my time and theirs and 
asked them of them if they could give me the email address used when 
the request was made.  Some helped me.

One gave me a customer service number where my call was not returned, 
but the other two others gave me   meocutduoi at mail.com.  I looked up 
mail.com, and it appears to be a free email service, and the 
meocutduoi at mail.com email address was currently assigned.

I don't have a listed phone number, so it would be easy for someone 
to get my name and address, but I don't see any reason for anyone to 
make cold calls to limited groups like diabetics.

Maybe  it's just a new wrinkle for telemarketers, I inadvertently got 
on a new sucker list, or ???  Have any of you had the same issue?  I 
normally get plenty of telemarketing calls and avoid most of them by 
hanging up if nobody speaks in a few seconds.

Jim
