If You’re on Political Lists, You’re on Scam Lists Too
If you’re a Political Wire reader, you already know that political donors, activists, and even casual news junkies wind up on all kinds of lists. And scammers love those lists. The BBC recently caught a scam call center on hidden cameras where workers openly laughed about tricking people — one bragged he’d made $250,000 off victims.
Here’s the part they don’t say out loud: scammers don’t pick numbers at random. They buy data from brokers — sometimes the same data brokers who collect political donor info, petition signatures, email sign-ups and even the sites you visit.
That’s why I recommend Incogni. They contact data brokers on your behalf, demand removal, monitor for new exposures, and follow up automatically until your information is gone.
