Using the name that is printed on the card to look up my name.

Around here at least it is common to have cards with names printed on them. Some even have photos and can be used as IDs some places.



And how do they find your phone number from your name?


Online phone directory.

(No, this is either not my only name or not my real name :-)


Mobile numbers can end up in phone books? What nation state do you reside in?


Norway, at least for now.


Crazy. In the modern world phone books seem like highly exploitable resources should your designs be nefarious.
