Sorry for the long delay, but as usual work has been very busy.
We are back on track discussing some of the things that con artists do not like to have revealed. We have already discussed how easy it is for con artists to get your personal information. For these people, your personal information is a veritable gold mine. This information can reveal not only what should be hidden information, such as your social security number or date of birth, but also information about your personal habits which can be used to enter into your life.
What is not so much known is that there is a veritable underground industry which buys and sells this information. If you have ever seen the movie "Glengarry Glenn Ross," there is a scene where Alec Baldwin's character states that the owners of a company which sells real estate, "Mitch and Murray," purchased leads, i.e. phone numbers and addresses of people that filled out an information card so that a salesperson could follow up later. The key is that the information, even if it was collected in a legal manner, can be used to ingratiate the salesperson with the prospective client.
It should not be surprising, therefore, to discover that information that has not been collected legally should also be up for sale.
