My Paranoid Side

My Worrying Side
At this moment, I'm sure someone somewhere is selling our sensitive data for money and now the buyer is starting to make use of the data.
Somewhat pretty sure they had reached the part with my mobile phone number on it.
Just earlier today, I saw an unknown number (not Malaysia's country code/it was +62---) messaging me on Whatsapp about some job opportunity. It was suspicious AF so I blocked and deleted it.
An hour later, I received a call that is not in my contact list. Didn't pick it up. After it stopped, I turned on the airplane mode on my phone.
I'm not expecting any mails or parcels. If this is a call from sellers on Shopee or Carousell... They should've used the messaging/chat feature!
Ahhh.. I really don't like getting calls from people I don't know. I don't want to hear them talking. I don't want them to hear my voice (and probably recording the call without permission).
Am I paranoid? I guess I am.
Please don't call me, stranger. Just message me. Like... if you only have my phone number, I'm fine with text messages too. Just, don't call me as if we know each other personally.
Interestingly, I searched for "I don't like receiving calls" later and found articles and blog posts on millennials hating phone calls. Good. So it's not me alone who have problems with this XD. Although I must confess, my reluctance to deal with phone calls intensified after quitting my job at the end of year 2018.
