I have seen before someone got a hold of massive phone number, complete with name and address, all copied on photostat paper long time ago.

I have no idea how they got that amount of info but it seems systematically printed out from some sort of system.

That was before the so called data protection act la.

Some business are selling this kind of "Whatsapp Marketing" stuff now.
They bought 500k phones number database from god know who, then go approach businesses and say help "advertise" or send "e-flyer" for them.

They then send the business promotional images or text to these database through Whatsapp.

They are actively promoting this business model now, I heard there's one operating in Penang now, company name eCentury, they have meeting on every Monday and Friday at a office lot in Automall.

Damn spamming company, we need to report to the authority to stop Whatsapp spam.

Edit: Worst thing is, there is no option to OPT OUT from this spam, in emails at least we can opt out. This is some serious legal issue.

Phone numbers can be sourced by those people who stand around at shopping malls and asking you to fill in your particulars for some surveys. Typically these will require you to fill in your phone number too.

Then there's fairs like home deco fair or some other big exhibition where you can participate in lucky draws etc. Some of them will also require you to fill in your mobile no to paticipate.

Anyone can register their number with PDPA, then they won't be able to bother you anymore. if they do just report to PDPA, they will be be liable to pay you damages up to Rm200,000 or jail up to 2 years:

" The PDPA gives consumers the right to request in writing for the direct marketer or direct seller to stop or even not begin processing their personal data. Failure to cease using personal data for direct marketing purposes after a data subject has objected could cost the offender a fine of up to RM200,000 and/or imprisonment of up to two years." Read more at http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2014...b1xU2ld4qM8t.99

The head of PDPA says because no one bothers to complaint, so they cannot do anything to the offenders. People lazy to report ma continue to suffer lo

here is where you can register your number with the government:
(under Pendaftaran Pengguna Data) and if you want to lodge a complaint (under Lapor Aduan salah guna data)
https://daftar.pdp.gov.my/login.php

If you have money and time, you can sue them: http://www.azmilaw.com/archives/Article_ou...00125573%29.PDF (I don't work for this law firm)
