Last year I did a major fuckup and bought a .us domain without noticing that they don’t support WhoIs privacy, so my name number and address became part of the public WhoIs database scrapes. Since then my spam texts and calls have vastly multiplied. I’m realistic about the fact that the damage is done and it’ll always exist out there, but I would happily pay some money to a service that sends takedown requests for the data in the public databases like LexisNexis etc. to lessen the damage. Do you know of any services that do this somewhat reliably? Or even a guide or something about doing this manually?

    I made the same mistake. I have been using DeleteMe, I think it helped some but it’s definitely no silver bullet.
