CW: I had one of the most disturbing tech support experiences of my life yesterday and the TLDR version is that the tech support company subscribed to the Zoom Info data broker service and was given my private personal cell phone number to contact me about a support issue.
So I've been doing some support with one of our department heads that put me in touch via email with the support for a vendor that we're using. Emails go back and forth a few times without much progress and I suddenly get an unexpected call on my personal cell phone while I'm at work. Now like most people my cell phone isn't for phone calls so this was weird. It turns out it was the tech support person I've been emailing with.
This is most disturbing.
My private cell phone number is not on my work account, not in my email signature, or even have it been given to any of my co-workers because of abuses I've had to deal with in the past.
So for a random tech support person that I've never spoken to to find my private personal contact information and call me on it to finish resolving a support issue is an incredible violation of my privacy.
I'm furious. I know it's not the text problem and they are very intent on resolving this issue and ending the call but I get them to tell me how they got that information before continuing with the support call.
The short version is a company called #ZoomInfo collects and resells personal private data to basically anyone. Despite me having spent years taking pains to make sure that my private info isn't in the hands of my co-workers or other business folks for listed on social media or anywhere online, these people found it probably in a data breach somewhere.
I'm already a little extra pissed because a few months ago I'd finally signed up for the incogni private data deletion service, so I'm expecting to see a reduction in these kinds of incidents. Turns out this is one that they haven't made a business agreement with so they won't remove my data from them.
I have to do it.
And so do you.
Below is a link they provided instructions on how to move yourself from this one specific(of thousands) data broker.
Go to https://www.zoominfo.com/privacy-center/update/remove and “verify” your email address.
Check your mailbox and take note of your 4-digit code.
Enter the 4-digit code and click “confirm.”
Tick the checkbox next to “I would like to delete my information,” solve the CAPTCHA, and click “remove.”

I’m getting cold called by people using zoominfo. To be clear if you cold call me I will not be open to whatever scam you are selling. #zoominfo you need a very obvious and simple way for people to remove themselves from your list of speculative victims. And vet your customers properly, please.
