Is someone listening to our cell phone conversations, and then showing ads on our computers about

businesses we mentioned?

Yesterday I was talking to a family member on my cell phone and I mentioned the Olive Garden. (She has a sore throat and I told her when I had a cold, I bought some chicken gnochi soup from the Olive Garden.)

Not long after, I got on Yahoo and an Olive Garden video ad appeared.

1. I doubt it. I don't have a cell phone and Olive garden ads are
coming into my email box. I've never been to an Olive garden and don't even know where one is.
