This has been posted before... if you use multiple services and you give real general contact information instead of using only a designated number for gaming this will happen. Your name and number can be quickly disseminated depending on the service used and who is in the tech or IT and even CSD department. There is a large underground market for player lists in CR... SBR may not be the culprit and this information can hit the distribution network based on many factors which may not be because of SBR. Use a DESIGNATED number for gaming contact that goes directly to voicemail and check if you are looking to deposit or just delete the messages regularly if not, simple right... annoying calls go away.
PS if you had a BI account then everyone has your contact info...

DSI will call me occasionally, like 5 times a year. And if you say you can't talk right now, they just send you an email with the offer and say nice to to talk to you.

I don't think SBR asks for a phone #, hence how would they distribute it? The books sell the #.

When you use the sbrstore, you fill out your personal info.

All these shit books sell your details, just more income for them.

This has been happening long before the SBR store. It isn't impossible though if SBR has your #.

Wrong, it would dilute their base. A few do though and is not a long term good move.

I have a personal problem......
when a number calls me that i dont no i always think its some sexy female who is interested in me and then i answer only to be disappointed 97% of the time
Just to find out its some books trying to get my money i would be highly disappointed........
