I haven’t gotten any texts from Trump. I’m hurt, <sniff>
Lol at thinking you never ever gave your cell phone number to a company that sells that info
Have you ever accessed Facebook or Twitter from your phone on an app? They have your number even if you never specifically gave it to them. Once it’s there it’s available to anyone paying for a list.
Do you have your number as your lockout backup on any email in case you forgot your password? Ever entered your number for a credit card or bank two factor security?
Never had Facebook and Twitter. Only service i use my cellphone number for is Steam two factor authentication. Additionally my cellphone number is not used in any manner as a backup for any other service.
For context when i receive these spam texts. They refer to me by first name. However they all dont use my first name but a close relative. Which makes things that more confusing.
You really weren't paying attention to the Cambridge Analytica leaks huh?
After those reports i worked a annual board meeting of a well known cellphone application maker. Additional things i learned there were quite jarring. To the point that when im not using my GPS. Location is always turned off on my phone.
So when the NYT article was published a few weeks later i could talk about it. Since it was now part of public knowledge.
Steam definitely sells commercial information.
5. Who Has Access to Data
Valve does not sell Personal Data.
Anyone else getting these? Yesterday i only received one. But on average last week i was getting five per day.
My phone is clean. Where I dont give out any information of mine to cashiers/tellers. So im genuinely confused to how my cellphone number was added. Last week i even began receiving spam phone calls. My hypothesis is that the Trump Campaign swiped data of those who applied for stimulus checks.
Send them a bunch of gift cards, they will leave you aloneThe India bureau of the IRS calls me at least once a day. Apparently, I have agents on the way to my home.
