    Weird; the information they say got stolen is information not associated with my account — all it has is my name, phone number, and an address I lived at 15 years ago. So if I get an email from them I’ll be surprised, as they shouldn’t have my email.

      That’s still a lot of valuable information to them. Even knowing your number and name are valid is signing you up to months, if not years, of spam.

        I have call filtering on that number, and I’ve had it for so long that everyone already has it associated with the name I gave SaveOn :)
