I assume that they have access to some form of semipublic data -
possibly linked to the utilities bills - so that they know when someone
has moved into the neighbourhood. What bugged me a few weeks ago was
when I received a late night cold call from a private security company
selling alarms and such, and they mentioned "heard you had just moved
in" etc.
