The number was 800 852 5321.

I often encounter websites that ask my date of birth without good reason. I alter it because I've heard it can be useful to criminals (even if the organization is reputable, such as a newspaper). That's why it concerns me that unidentified people asked my aunt's date of birth in peculiar circumstances.
