So, how do these scumbags even get your number?

[-] TherapyGary 25 points 1 day ago

My number is on my PsychologyToday page and my NPI profile, so hopefully from there, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bought it from the university I went to or got access to a government database associated with my license

University is a lot more likely.

They like to prey on people desperate once the bills start rolling in.

Everyone and their brother that collects data for something will sell it to the highest bidders

When I was signing up for the army in 2012 they asked me if I knew anyone who might wanna join, I think there was a bonus involved? Anyways I gave them no names or numbers and got nothing, not even the other bonus they promised me.

Never trust army recruiters.

Last one that reached out to me, I asked if I got to wear corporate sponsors of war on my greens like NASCAR does, and they didn't reply. :(

It would just be General Dynamics repeatedly

You never trust the recruiter and always read the contract twice.

So much for airborne school for me...

Specifically for medical stuff, they swipe your number and email when you take the MCAT. I was debating an MD/PhD so I took it and even never applying or getting into med school they'd randomly email me, for like 5y after.
