Yup. I remember reading in an issue of Playboy in the 1990s how American Express stopped being an accomplice for adulterers when it started itemizing receipts. Playboy advised readers to use cash and not to tip generously to avoid being remembered by waiters. But the thing is, in a world where nobody uses cash, sudden ATM withdrawals might also be a giveaway.
Another thing is that, I thought, most families have family plans from the mobile providers. So I cannot see how one can start receiving calls from the same # without getting noticed.
