## Resource

Data brokers like TruePeopleSearch, Spokeo, and Whitepages collect personal information from public records, social media, and more, creating detailed profiles that can lead to spam calls, unwanted marketing, and even phishing scams. Most people are unaware of these profiles until they receive unwanted mail or calls. To protect your privacy, search for your name on these sites, opt-out of each one, and consider using services like Incogni or DeleteMe for a more comprehensive solution.
