They sold or passed my email on the web. I have since unsubscribed hundreds of company and scammer emails I didn’t sign up for. My junk box average 100 plus daily. At least you can block the number on you’re phone, but they have ways around that. Now if I don’t know who sending email’s or who calls me I immediately send it to junk or block call. Maybe before I die I’ll get rid of all scam/junk.  fat change of that! 
Not direct at you, I responded to wrong person and not the OP. Sorry. |
I would be lost without my computer but the price is your privacy. Without realizing it,
we give up tons of what we think is, should be private information. Big brother is watching you. Research anything, say lawn fertilizer and you will be hit with ads for lawn fertilizer. Look up yourself. You will be shocked at how much information is out on you.
Amusing, there is something called SPOKEO. On surveys, I never give correct information. Spokeo had me listed as being roughly 150 years old, with more money than Warren Buffet. I looked recently. It now lists my aunt as the only person that I know. She must have adjusted the information. I don't have the heart to tell her but she does not know my birth date. All charities, etc say they do not sell your contact information. Try misspelling your name and you can easily track who they have sold your contact information to.
Everyone you call, everything you buy on credit card, all assets under your social security number, it is required information, is all information that can be researched legally and not.
