Unsolicited marketing.... selling personal information?!?!?!

I have been receiving a lot of spam calls, and finally asked where they had gotten my number, as I haven't authorised anyone to share or sell my personal details. I was told the list of numbers is sourced from Telegenix, and I find this unacceptable and morally suspect. It's a huge security breach, and I'd like to know who gave them permission to share or sell my personal information?
