This text message freaked me out and it had my full name and an address that I haven't used in years. How did they even get that? So I did some digging and found out about data broker websites. They literally collect and sell your personal info. That's when I found out about Malwarebytes personal data remover. It scans over 100 sites to see where your data is exposed and take steps to remove your info. And it keeps monitoring too. So if your info pops back up somewhere, it helps to remove it again. If you've ever gotten a message that made you wonder how they know that, this might be worth looking into.
