Well, I think I figured out why I suddenly started getting tons of spam. Several of the phone/text spams that I have gotten have been for someone named Adrian.

I think what happened is that this Adrian signed up for something and accidentally entered my number when he was entering his own, and whoever he gave the number too either got hacked or was some dubious company that sold off his personal info to spammers.
