    Data brokers, easily. Also, bill collectors are one of the stereotypical scummy occupations alongside door-to-door sales and buy-here-pay-here car lots.

      What’s wrong with door to door sales? Should people with enough money to pay a landlord for a storefront be the only ones allowed to sell stuff, or just dropshippers on Amazon, or just big box stores like wallmart? Also, do door to door salemen even exist anymore? I think I’ve only seen them in movies from the 50’s

        Well, high-pressure, scummy sales tactics and preying on the disadvantaged (people getting duped into buying a $1k+ or $2k+ overpriced appliance they can’t really afford, ala Kirby or Rainbow, is a thing that happens) are the main problems with door-to-door sales.
