Always, always, protect your personal info
Even if they didn't keep your number, LE can get phone records, which would then lead back to you. You may be single now, but we never know how things will change in the future.
Always use a pseudonym and a burner phone. Despite the sometimes positive reviews of burner apps, just don't use them. Pay cash for a burner phone and service card (for minutes), and find a way to stash it. Have a story for the phone if it gets discovered. ALWAYS, ALWAYS encrypt your phone and storage card with a real password, and not just a PIN. Put your phone in airplane mode, or better, turn it off before you arrive (this is getting a little out there, as it assume active LE investigation of the location). I call ahead for my appointment, and then put my burner back in airplane mode before arriving.
Assuming they only know your first name, just go with the flow. Especially if it's a common name. Get a burner phone and tell them you changed your phone number.
And then NEVER use your personal phone to call them.
[QUOTE=Tazdevil77;5405519]I'm single so didn't think I really had to use a monger name or number with AMP's because I never thought they would save my number or be calling me so now I'm concerned about a bust and LEO going through the phone. Like you I don't frequent the place it's been over a month since I've been there now I'm wondering if I should return.[/QUOTE]
I am no expert but BMore speaks truth!
Mongers,
T-Mobile has a $40/ month unlimited data plan. Go to CVS and get a refillable card. Pay cash for the phone and the monthly refills.
One of the DC Spa's occasionally does send out texts to me. I have never had that happen before. Since it goes to my "play" phone no one except me ever sees them and my identity isn't tied to the phone.
Now I am not stupid. If the LEO community really wanted to track me down of course they have the ability but that takes considerable resources and I am a tiny fish in a number of ways not worth the efforts!
Have fun! Be safe.
Mika.

Where buy burner phone now?
[QUOTE=EasyCompany;5411498]As long as the phone remains in the owner's posession, his identity remains anonymous. And, it provides privacy from wives and significant others.[/QUOTE]My old burner phone died, went to the store where originally purchased and they now want to check ID for phone purchase. What stores don't check ID now?
