I searched the database and haven’t been pawned but of course I know why, I never shared my phone number with FB and this confirms my idea that sharing anything with FB is a terrible idea, even the real name with correct spelling can cause issues. I urge everyone who wants to still hold a social media account to add an alternative spelling for their name. When info leaks or one gets unsolicited messages of any kind out it becomes very easy to backtrack to which social media account the leak is coming from. Perhaps one more reason (from the many) to disable that account.
- Maxburn 6y agoThis is excellent advice. Years ago I had a misspelling of my name on my drivers license. Very easy to find the source of all my junk mail after that!
