Even if you don't use it, if anyone who has your number uses truecaller then your number, profession, and social graph etc will be recorded and shown to other users.

Let's fight back by unlisting our numbers from truecaller.

I have evidence that truecaller has sold my contact to call centers.

How did you get that evidence?

I explained it in the comment.

tldr: I created an email id and gave it to only truecaller and then started getting spam emails. I mentioned a few more things too.
