    I have a realtor in the area who had my telphone number (I've had it   
    since 2015, I still see my number on her marketing materials when I   
    google it...)   
      
    I used to get people calling for her, I'd get creative with my   
    responses, like holding the phone and yelling "Hey, is Barbara back   
    from rehab yet? No?" then ask if I could take a message. Or, forwarding   
    them to my friend who is a competing realtor.   
      
    I called her at her new number and she told me that it wasn't her fault   
    and I should "call google".   
      
    Now I'm getting calls from American Express looking for payment.
