[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 317099, member: 7083"] I don't think it's legal. At least not in my state. They can only call the number(s) they have listed and leave a message that it's "regarding a business matter". If you've gone through a place like, say, a pay advance place and you have to put a couple of contact names down, they can call those contact numbers to try to find you or your contact info (had a...friend, now acquaintance, do that). But, they cannot call just anyone. I'm creeped out that you can find so much information so easily. They were able to find you - a neighbor? I know it's possible. It just really bothers me how little privacy we have anymore. I might be tempted to tell them - should they call again - that if they are so [I]good[/I] at their job that they can track down a neighbor, a completely unrelated party, then they should have no trouble finding the person they need.
