Your cell phone # is not safe
from gizmodo
If you’ve ever gotten a marketing call on your cellphone and wondered how the hell they could have gotten your number, you may have certain websites to thank. A local Florida TV station decided to do an investigation into this kind of thing and discovered that some websites will sell the last 100 phone numbers you may have dialed to anyone who has your phone number already. Sites like Locate Cell sells these private numbers for $100. These sites are, unfortunately, not illegal, but the TV station suggested calling the Attorney General’s office if you find this has happened to you. Nasty!
Hmmm, maybe this is why I’ve been getting spam/scam phone calls and I didn’t know how or why they got my phone number.
