I got a new phone number a few months ago.
I immediately put my number on the "National Do Not Call" registry listing.
I get junk/spam/solicitation calls on a daily basis. Today I got one that had a human on the other end and it was a human from America who spoke understandable English so I promptly announced that my number was on the "do not call" registry list and asked how he got my number.
He started backpedaling.
I asked again, how did he get my number.
He said the voter registration list.
Could that be true? The voter registration list? They don't have my old phone number, and certainly don't have my new phone number. How do these people get our phone numbers?
