Phonebooks - eviltoast

I was talking to a coworker about these new phishing attacks that send your name and address and sometimes a picture of your house, and I was saying how creepy it is, and they told me that phonebooks were delivered to everyone and used to have like literally everyone in a city listed by last name with their phone number and address. Is that for real?

    Yeah we were still getting them up to line 2010 or so, even though we haven’t had a land line active in my house since I moved in.
