    I have a local realtor who had my old number on a PDF that google   
    captured.   
      
    I get SPAM calls wanting to add me to the Google Voice Search   
    service directory, whatever that is. I've made it clear that it's a   
    wrong number, and gotten repeated calls from their agents that usually   
    get testy when I ask to be removed from their listing. They seem to   
    imply that since they have it as a business listing, they have a right   
    to call.   
      
    I also get calls from customers trying to get a hold of the realtor. I   
    send them to another realtor friend of mine. I wonder how much business   
    she's lost.   
      
    I've reached out to the realtor, explaining the situation, she   
    effectively told me it's Google's fault and what did I expect her to   
    do? I even sent her the link to the offending file, and it's still on   
    their web site.
