Random 555/mac.com contacts added to iPhone
Just noticed several random contacts added to my phone, all have 555 area codes California addresses and @mac.com email addresses.
Anybody else have this issue?

So it turns out the contacts that got added to my phone (John Appleseed, Kate Bell, Anna Haro, Daniel Higgins Jr, David Taylor, and Hank M. Zakroff) are all the default contacts on the iPhone simulator in Xcode.

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in the SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo, or any Other

If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.
