Once your email address and phone number has been acquired from a hacked data base you will get literally dozens of scam emails and phone calls monthly and there is NOTHING that you can do to stop it.
Do not click on links on emails from people or sources you do not know. Delete them. You will get emails from FedEx as an example. Totally bogus. You will get calls from what appear to be local phone numbers. Do not answer them unless you recognize the caller. Caller ID and voice mail can be a barrier to predatory calls.
If you think any of your information is private, search your name or anyone’s name on the internet. Your information has been monetized and phone numbers and email addresses can be found on various websites along with other so called private but now public information.
