Not a significant problem - I (substitute some identity thief rather
than me personally - I guess this should be Mal from the case of Alice &
Bob etc) don't really want *your* specific id, but instead a set of
additional random ids - probably ideally of people unlikely to notice
quickly, so go more heavily for areas with significant numbers of
retired people etc....

Again, didn't need the phone number - the address is what I was actually
after.  BT phone book is just a good place to them them...
