I put in a fake numbers and it tells me they are invalid, so it must know my real one already.

You should give Google your phone number. And you should use Google 2-Step and install the Google Authenticator app on your smart phone.

Luckily this problem won't exist for much longer. Google and facebook are going to skip the foreplay and start implanting tracking devices in your body.

Same thing with hotmail and facebook - I don't have my phone number on there for a reason, now quit asking!

you know what's worse? Getting phone calls from a "national research firm" or from "cardmember services" every other night even though you're on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY!
