How do data brokers get a senior's phone number and address in the first place?
Data brokers gather names, addresses, phone numbers, and relatives' names from public records, store loyalty programs, and online sign-ups, then sell or publish them on people-search sites. Scam callers use those listings to sound convincing, which is why one removal rarely ends the calls for good. Listings can reappear, so a service that keeps checking is a different thing from a one-time cleanup, and a free scan shows what is out there before any money changes hands.
