How to get free real people addresses and bank account data?
Offer something “for free” and require those people interested in the free offer to give their name, address, phone number and bank account data, then suspend their accounts for made up terms of service violations and refuse to delete the data after deletion has been requested.
That’s what Oracle does with their Oracle Cloud offering.
I have reported this practice with the German GDPR data protection person.
So you can create your account online, for free, no snail mail required, but you’re supposed to write a snail mail letter, and pay 7€+ for a registered letter, because if you don’t they’ll just say that they didn’t receive any letter.
So you have to waste time, paper and energy to have your data deleted, despite you having made a demand to an Oracle support employee.
This is fraud.
