Opposition Researchers Can Do This in Seconds

If you’ve ever worked on a campaign, you know how fast someone can dig up your phone number, old address, and half your family tree. Now imagine that same “oppo research” power in the hands of scammers.

One Redditor described a nightmare call: “Someone contacted me, my ex, his girlfriend, my brother, my cousin, and my parents. He knew everyone’s names — even where I work.”

That’s not a lucky guess. That’s a data trail.

Every job you’ve held, every move you’ve made, every database you forgot existed — it’s all archived and sold by data brokers and genealogy sites. And unless you actively wipe it, it stays in circulation indefinitely.

Incogni does the cleanup for you — identifying where your personal data is exposed, forcing its removal, and continuing to scrub new leaks over time. It’s like having your own digital compliance team… but for your private life.

If they can’t find you, they can’t scam you. Political Wire readers get 55% off an annual plan with code POLITICALWIRE.
