    Sportsbooks selling customer information

    Do you guys think that sportsbooks have been selling customer information for profit? When I use a sportsbook I use a Google voice number but in the past I think I used my real number at a few books.

    I have been receiving a lot of phone calls from obvious scammers. I can't think of how else they got my name and number unless the stolen Playstation network details have already been sold .

    No one else experience this? I can't see why books wouldn't try to profit from our information in anyway they can, especially books we no longer have money deposited with.

    I don't think they would risk it getting traced back to them. I guess scam books wouldn't think twice about doing it.

    A few of us on here did receive a promo from some random online casino a while back, none of us really know where they got our details from (name and address)

    Not sure about them selling information, but its always a best practice not to answer blocked calls. If its someone important, they'll leave a message.

    Yeah you have a good point there. I got one today from some bitch trying to phish. I answered because it was a number that I thought I recognized. I called her a c*nt before I hung up and she was all shocked, "EXCUSE ME?!"

    I have been playing at books for many years, since the start of offshore internet books... I get calls from any and all of them.... The conversation pretty much ends after I tell them I play at the best, Heritage and nobody in the industry can come close to them. Baruch HaShem.
