Given the ISP, I can't say I'm surprised.

From EduCom:

AOL USERS FACE MORE JUNK CALLS
America Online is reversing its policy of not handing out members' phone
numbers to marketing firms, opening up the possibility that subscribers now
will face a deluge of telemarketing calls pitching everything from discount
phone service to cheap appliances.  "I'm horrified," says one subscriber.
"It's bad enough to get junk mail, but junk phone calls are much worse."
Previously, AOL had restricted its information-sharing to members' e-mail
and snail mail addresses.  AOL says it plans to give subscribers plenty of
notice regarding the change in the terms-of-service agreement, and will
distribute information on how to opt out of the telemarketing campaign
before it begins this fall.  (Wall Street Journal 24 Jul 97)
