Just a few months back someone called me on the morning train and told me they had my debit card that I had forgotten in the vending machine.
This summer I have tipped of a couple of parents about their kids belongings because I found their phone numbers on the stuff and they didn't block me. In one case it was a rather expensive outdoors jacket forgotten by the sea that they had been searching for to no avail.
- chrisbennet 10y agoNothing keep them from leaving a message...
- reitanqild 10y agoI for one hate leaving messages. Having a friend who recorded and remixed phone conversations back in the days might have added to that ;-)
- easytiger 10y agoHow can someone derive your phone number from your debit card?
- reitanqild 10y agoUsing the name that is printed on the card to look up my name. Around here at least it is common to have cards with names printed on them. Some even have photos and can be used as IDs some places.
- easytiger 10y agoAnd how do they find your phone number from your name?
- reitanqild 10y agoOnline phone directory. (No, this is either not my only name or not my real name :-)
- easytiger 10y agoMobile numbers can end up in phone books? What nation state do you reside in?
- reitanqild 10y agoNorway, at least for now.
- easytiger 10y agoCrazy. In the modern world phone books seem like highly exploitable resources should your designs be nefarious.
