   I got one of those through the post on one occasion.  The format of   
   address that they sent it to was unique to the registrar of my domain.   
   So it appears that either they had been scraping the registries for   
   addresses, or bought a list off someone else, and that they were   
   clueless enough to imagine that someone with a domain would want to sign   
   up to them.
