Why would my 13 yr old son be getting credit card applications and junk mail?

Credit Card Applications
I have been getting mail with my son’s name on it for credit cards, junk mail, and today was something from “sell your gold”…How do these places obtain names to send crap to? My son hasn’t applied for anything. What does this mean?
And I have no clue what catagory to put this in..so here we go.
Thanks all. I asked him about it today and told him what was in the mail. He said the only thing it could be was some questionaire thing on the internet of course to get extra “AP” for this game 12th Sky he plays. So needless to say, we sat down and had a long talk..and he knows not to ever give his name and address out to anyone. He doesn’t know his ss#, so luckily he didn’t give that out! Whew. I was afraid that maybe his father(not in the picture and is a criminal) who somehow got ahold to his ss# may have been doing something, but when I found out he had it, I put a flag on my son’s ss# a few years ago just in case.

credit card offers?

Credit Card Offers
i have a good credit history of paying my bills on time but i’ve only had a credit card for about 6 months. i keep receiving credit card offers in the mail (i know everyone does) but sometimes i get really good one’s like gold american express and plantinum everything else. is this anything special to me or am i just a random candidate?
