Am I too paranoid? [View all]

This happened a few moments after I had hung up from a phone call with a long time friend and fellow DU'er. For a brief second my phone screen had her name and number, then it posted this Russian number: +7 122209307. Curious as to why I was being called from Russia, I answered it and got spam from Medic Alert, if I understood the robot right. Anyone else having this anomalous problem? Does a Russian company own Medic Alert?
I took a screen shot of my phone if anyone wants proof this happened.
Are we being followed and intimidated?
