I read a post on HN or somewhere else a couple of weeks ago about how this guys wife gmail account got hacked and how gmail has become an intricate part of our everyday lives. He says to tighten his gmail account security, he added his phone number as an extra security measure for authentication and I had been wanting to try but just got to it today. Right after I added my cellphone number, I got an automated call from this number(12533829958) about a political survey. So, I got sold out either way or was it just a coincidence huh?
Edit: I see some people got calls from that number too
