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.
