When I was a telecom manager, I bought a new bank of DID numbers for my
company. I assigned the lead number of the bank of numbers to the phone
in my switch room, and as soon as I saved the change, it rang.
I picked it up, and it was a wrong number for a museum. Thinking about
it, It seemed likely that a museum patron would have an old number
written down somewhere instead of looking it up. :)

I'm getting SPAM calls from "Google Voice Verification". They keep
asking for the "business owner". Not sure what they want to charge for,
but when I ask them to take me off of their list, they double down with
what great value they offer - or once, told me it wasn't his job to
take me off of their list and I "need a secretary".
I've got around 60 calls logged, am considering taking them to court.
... What is the reality of the situation?
