Funny related story: someone in my city signed up for a mortgage but used my phone number on accident. I got 40 spam calls the first day, and still get calls about it years later. I even got a message from one of his friends one time looking to catch up. His name is Brian and he works at a local restaurant as the GM, I learned all this just from info fed to me by third parties.
I have a Steve that did the same thing. A lot of people contacted me over the years about him wanting to see if they could buy his property. I finally said yes, and that was the last I heard from any of them.
