Default made a mistake

I made a mistake and joined linkedin, or something out there that has everyone emailing and calling me. Somewhere out there I must be listed as the IT guy for my company. Our main office is in NC, I sit here in a district office in Ohio, yet everyone who gets me on the phone thinks I am in NC. They say they dialed a NC exchange. They want to sell me all kinds of enterprise solutions, attend seminars, and have all kinds off free lunches!! Until I tell them I am in Ohio! I tell them no thanks and click unsubscribe on the emails. Now I have heard they unsubscribing is the worse thing to do, it proves they have a real email box and they sell your email to the next jerk, any one else heard that?
I went on linkedin and try to delete my account and go throgh pages and pages then as I get to the end it would give me a server error page, they got me and there ain't no getting out, who are they they Mob? So the next best thing, I went on there are changed my profile, no longer do I work in the IT profession, I am a dirt farmer or something crazy, I forget. Doesn't seem to stop the info that got out there previously.
Word to the wise keep your info private.

Anyone else have a horror story to share?
