FinalScout

FinalScout is a service that provides a ChatGPT-powered email finding and outreach tool designed to extract valid email addresses from professional networking platforms like LinkedIn. Their database contains over 500 million business profiles and 20 million company profiles, which are utilized by sales, business development, and marketing professionals for lead generation and outreach campaigns. The service offers a Chrome extension that allows users to scrape information from LinkedIn profiles, search results, groups, and events to find contact details. The exposure of personal and professional contact information on FinalScout creates privacy and security risks for individuals, including being targeted for unsolicited marketing and sales outreach. This data could potentially be used for phishing scams, fraud, or other malicious activities. To protect yourself from data brokers and potential identity theft, it is important to be aware of what information is being collected about you, limit the personal information you share on professional networking sites, and consider opting out of this data broker's database.
