The NSA, the Chicoms, same difference.
You have no privacy.
Act accordingly.
Yes.
A phone call from a spoofed number could be as simple as a means to track your phone and see if it is on and where it is at....
Extended car warranties are a major scam. Do not do business, d not talk, hang up and immediately block - they will keep calling from different numbers - repeat blocking and after a month or two they will be mostly gone.
No Chinese involved. Just your normal criminals scamming.
Also, smart phones can track a person down to 6 feet when wifi location is used along with GPS and cell phone triangulation.
And the information compiled on all of us is forever.
And yes, you can try to mitigate it. Just takes diligence.
This guys has some good suggestions starting with dumping Facebook.
Pay no attention to this Yankee dogs!
The friendly leaders of the Communist Party in China only have your best interests in mind.
Now, back to work you white devils!
Not what you had, however:
My wife’s Lexus is 15 years old and my Ridgeline was one of the first out and its warranty has also expired.
At least, each day we get a cloned number (same area code and sometimes 2 times. Supposedly my business phone number called us twice.)
The message was all ways the same, your warranty is about to expire.
My wife now gets them on her cell phone. NoMoreRobo calls does’t work as they keep cloning the area code and a local number.
Do you think the Foxcon factories in China have escaped the militarization of the Chinese economy?
I have not had my phone switched remotely, but many has been the time I have spoken (not searched) about some obscure item only to receive ads for said item days later on my phone. It listens. They listen. There are millions of smart phones out there. The ad response is likely some kind of bot. I feel it is unlikely any actual human would listen to mine. Still kind of creepy.
I think this is probably a domestic big data enterprise. the warranty on my car expired, and I was immediately inundated by exactly the sort of thing you’re describing.
not sure what the chinese have to gain in securing info on your chevy.

Yes, they paid Biden so they could do so.
I was in Lowes talking to a salesman about a electric wall heater a few months back.
Later that night similar electric wall heaters showed up on my fb feed and various internet sites including Breitbart and the Daily Mail.
I never did any google search regarding the heater on my phone nor computer
First of all, bluetooth has to pair with a device, which means you gave it permission some how.. Turn bluetooth back on, go to your car and hope it connects again. Go to Settings/Bluetooth and find out what device/app paired with your car. Then go and select it and either find the app associated with it and or unpair it or delete it.
If you get any texts or emails from a girl named “Fang Fang,” you probably don’t want to open any attached photos.
Americans are spying on Americans...
The chicoms control many Amelicans...
“Is China Spying on Americans?”
And Americans are spying on China, and India, and Pakistan, and Russia, and Iran...we’re all spying on each other. Everybody know what everyone had for breakfast today.
Spying is a group grope. It’s very fashionable and everyone is playing. You might be able to find a remote village in Africa or Siberia that is not spying. But you will have to look real hard. And it has been going on for a long time.

Ask the bear in the woods.
Yes to all of your questions. Bluetooth is not secure. If you want moderate security, use only free software. If you want better security, avoid the trivial conveniences. Use a cellphone only for voice communications with people. If using the cellphone for emergency web browsing while out, use only free software for browsing. Avoid a few particular Internet sites and services, and we all know which ones. Use all devices only through a VPN.
I still use a key instead of a remote for the car. When being used, the remote can be cracked by someone sitting in another vehicle nearby.
I doubt that Chinese are spying on you, BTW. Some physically much closer to you might be doing so.
