This sounds like a scam to me. In reading the 'privacy
policy' on isc2's website, they claim that they will not sell your information
without prior approval.
Either:
1. isc2's privacy policy is a bald-faced lie. I
don't know enough about the organization to make such a claim, but it's
possible.
2. The author of the posting below is trying to scam
money out of people to 'reclaim' their privacy. More likely, as the letter
is somewhat unprofessional, to begin with.
