Last year I purchased a domain name for our farm business as a place holder knowing I'll eventually get around to putting together a website when life allows.
Well the domain registration site had a "privitize my infomation" button...which I forgot to check...for the first 12 hours.
EVERY web and app developer from here to Pakistan now has my phone number and I get about 4-6 calls a day asking if I want help developing an app for our website.
I've had to block entire area codes with an installed spam blocker just to slow them down and get some small bit of peace back.
Moral of the story, Never forget to hit that privitize button.
