Encountered that with regular phone lines years ago.
I've even had calls from people claiming to be telemarketeers who "just" needed my bank account number, SSN, and passport number in order to provide me with "an excellent offer".

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
