How much information would a stranger need to know before they stop being a stranger? Your name, your phone number, your address where you used to live, or even your family members' names. Data brokers collect and sell exactly these kind of personal information. And the more accurate this information is, the more believable scams can seem. Incogni has a removal request to data brokers to help reduce that exposure. So use the free exposure scanner from Incogni to see how much of your information is already out there.
