I have been living in the park & taking calls at the lottery hotline for 25+ years, according to all but my guv, insurance provider & LEOs. Some others may get a PO Box, but if X doesn't fall under the umbrella of the former mentioned, they get all the mis-info I can feed them. Sadly, today the institutions I must rely on sell all that info to the highest bidders, anyway. In the list of info gleaned from your phone # the writer forgot your online purchase history, vehicle VIN & plate number and pretty much EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE day-to-day thanks to O/L retailers, your cell provider, your TV/provider, your DMV, your insurance provider, your city/county/state/Fed & everyone else under the sun selling your info. Many ask for your phone # "for security reasons" and then immediately sell it. TFA states it is better than your "full name"... that's nothing, as I have >7 same-names in my metro alone. It is, indeed, better than your social security #(in the States, anyway).
