Called three times on a number I have not given out to anyone but nearest and dearest. Caller ID "Alhambra, CA". According to Google, phone number is for a hospital/mental health services entity far from me. Wondering if the number is newly abandoned by the BHC Alhambra Hospital and acquired by spammers? No reason for them to be calling me unless it's an error.

Could either be an error or a spoofed number (ID readout will say one number when in reality they're calling from a different one). Hospitals rarely give up their numbers because of how the phone systems are set up and the mess it makes to change them around, nevermind drop them. If you know for sure it has nothing to do with you, just block it. As for how they 'found' your number--sadly, no matter how private you make it, it won't save you from getting calls from those scammers who use equipment to basically run down the list of phone numbers in an area in sequence. It's not that they actually found the number--just that it was the next one in the sequence their computer caller was running.
