How do these losers get our cell #s when there isn't a phone book or registry for our cell number? Getting tired of their BS scams and wasting my time.

Do you use Facebook??
Companies sell your personal info to these scum bags. Your info is not as secure as you think.

Do you use it (the facebook) on your phone?
That's all it would take, they already have your # if you do

that I do! fu$%ers!!!!!! My wife got a call the other day at her biz claiming they were BC Hydro and they are coming over to lock her biz up if she didn't pay the overdue invoice (which was not the case) and to immediately go and buy prepaid cards to pay it off. She hung up then they called back with threats. What a POS!

I have to wonder if they sometimes get a number from supplied info when you buy new vehicles, ATV's, etc.... Got calls forever, from some really stupid people, trying to sell extended warranties. Toyota Tundras were the worst offenders. I'm thinking the motel/tourist industry is to blame as well. Just my guesses.

Read their privacy policy, the crap Mark Z got accused of is real. I canceled my FB acct because of it, they will even collect your operating systems info.
Even cell companies can be offered money to buy cell numbers.

And that is why you need to wear your tin foil hat!
Or just don't be so attached to a smart phone.
But if the tinfoil is working for you, then that is good too.

have been getting a lot of the old visa/mastercard scam of fraudulent purchases. keep an eye on older relatives falling for this crap,
Christmas time is here.
Christmas time is here.
Anytime I buy parts at Chevy or dodge dealer they ask me for my name, address, etc and are pissed when I reply, "my name is Cash & you don't need my info, now sell me the parts!"
Another data sale that got me is after I bought a house, I wanted all pictures off online real estate sites but to do that you have to go online and claim the pictures which means entering your info and boom endless spam calls.

If you have Telus you can enable their Call Control feature for your home phone. It actually is working pretty damn good. All of the carriers are supposed to come up with something to help their customers limit the calls from scammers. I hope it is soon required of the cell phone carriers as well. See linky:
