What?! That's impossible! Banks are credible, reliable, trustworthy! Cryptocurrencies, those are the baddies.
Crypto🤡
Well Monero is a load better then any bank if you ask me.
Ah crypto, proving why we regulate banks everyday.
Do we though?... 'Cos it seems to me the path has been deregulating.
Still more regulated than crypto.
I get the same crap from doctor visits out here. Guess the assistants arent paid enough to properly police their bosses systems
You think area code is hidden? It's not!

Lucky. All I ate BS recruiter spam. I have no idea why; I've been disabled for years
You might want to consider a more thorough wiping of your area code next time. It's pretty easy to figure out what it is through the scribbles
Tip: Always write over things you don't want seen in the same color they were originally written in, if you can't completely redact it. This fucks with our brain's ability to distinguish a pattern, which is all reading really is anyway.
or, you know, just put a black bar over it so the information is just completely gone from the image?
scribbling over is never going to actually work, the information is still there for anyone who wants to extract it. It's like shouting over someone instead of just getting them to shut up.
Looks like you got phished. Doubt that was the real bank site. Suggest you change your passwords if you logged in to that site, too.
Banks and hospitals sell your information, too.
When my wife gave birth to our son at the hospital, I have to put down my phone number as part of the check in form. Immediately the next day I got call for "Home care services for new mom and baby".
...hospitals sell your information, too.
I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

Oh totally. But they don't sync that information "immediately". Nor would they ever want to because then the user would know that's where the information came from.
I don't think they really care if it's not actually illegal.
Or they could sell the data in bulk. And the day I put in my number just happens to be the day they sell their database.
I guess it depends on what OP meant by "immediately". If they meant the same day, maybe. If they meant within seconds or a few minutes, which is what I interpreted it as, then probably not. It takes time to transfer data out of a secure network, unless they gave the company direct access to a feed from the website, which would be really risky for a bank to give any organization a direct, real-time feed of any kind that is on the same network as financial data. I mean unless the bank also owned the spamming company, but that seems risky for reputation.
Either that or you’ve got some malware.
