I’m usually very cautious about who has my data on the internet. I work in tech so I know how to hide my data from 3rd parties. I thankfully got a job (through connections, not applying lmao). But these past couple of months without having one had me desperately sending my resume out to hundreds of positions around the country. The rejection emails are still trickling in to this day! But before that I got no spam. Nothing in emails besides the usual daily phising scam, no texts, no calls, nothings. But in the past few days my spam folder is filling up at 10x the rate. I’ve gotten 4 scam calls in the past 2 days. Daily texts about the morgage on my address (that there is no reason to contact me over). The only reason I can think of is because I gave my name, address, phone number, and email to hundreds of companies who pinkie swore not to do anything with it. ffs job applications or the laws around them have to change to stop this shit. Our identities are just a quick buck to some of these people.
