What do harshad numbers have to do with telephone numbers?

Just got a very obvious spammy-looking text message. When I google the phone number, there were a lot of results for harshad telephone numbers. More research showed that harshad numbers are numbers that are divisible by each of their digits. But what does that have to do with very spammy looking telephone numbers?

Absolutely nothing. It just happens that the particular number that called you was a Harshad number.

Response by poster: I figured that as well, but there are a number of search results that seem to imply a connection. Unless that is just people like me, googling phone numbers and finding out those numbers happen to be Harshad numbers?
