CenturyLink also sells the numbers. They got the name wrong on my phone and I was getting all kinds of calls for the wrong name. Made it easy to track where they got the number.

BTW -- It is illegal for postal workers, even contractors, to give out any info about postal customers, so I doubt info would go out that way. It is possible that one of the building contractors, including the general contractor, might give out some of the info or that one of them has another business and uses the info when building to contact new homeowners. They might even have access to all of your phone numbers and addresses.
