Today, I got a spam text addressed to my ex. One of those "WE BUY REAL ESTATE FAST!" types with an address I don't recognize.

Ugh, how is my phone number even connected with their house?!

Yeah, everybody collects data, but verifying it, cleaning up, deleting old stuff costs more than a few "misplaced" text's. So many just keep going with it. And who knows? maybe not the property mentioned, but you might have another place to sell. Or pass the message on to a friend. Even misplaced texts might lead to a deal profit .....

    Ugh, if I had my druthers, all text spams would trigger an electric shock on the sender. It's such an obnoxious waste.
