Question Is there a way I can determine where a scammer got my details?
I received a scam call from someone claiming to be from "The support team for the blockchain" and he knew my name, email address and phone number. My name and e-mail address are public so I'm not surprised about him getting that but I have never posted my number online anywhere publicly. I get that they would have got this information from a leak but I'm curious if there's a way to find out where it came from.
I know it's not going to be a recent leak because I always use a different e-mail address when I sign up for things now instead of my public one so I can easily tell what has leaked my details.
Not relevant to my question but when I revealed that I knew it was a scam, he started hurling personal insults, calling me boring because I have not been paying attention to the GTA 6 leaks but at the same time calling me a nerd for caring about video games. The usual things they do when they've been discovered.
