I recently got my car totaled by a distracted driver. Somehow, within the week, I had 4 different law firms cold-call me and ask if I needed representation. Some were more unscrupulous than others, but I got pretty livid that something or someone shared my information with them.

Even worse, after I bought a new vehicle I've received 4+ "extended warranty" junk mail letters that look very official. It comes off as very predatory and leaves a generally bad taste in my mouth with how bad data protections are.
