I made the mistake of sexting a sexting service provider using my actual phone number and then an hour later some random phone number tried to call me and text me “hey <my real first name>” and then proceeded to attempt to extort me by referencing a random person who shares the same last name with me and that they had proof of my sexting that they will share. My questions are how did they find my first and last name from my phone number, does google leak my email and name if someone had my phone number, is there a phone number search for businesses in Canada? I tried searching my phone number up and couldn’t get my name.

Update: seems like True Caller could’ve given it up
