I got an assortment of wrong number calls a while back, from people who swore blind they were returning my call, and my number was indeed the one in their caller ID as the number that called them, save that I hadn't called them.
The closest I could come to tracking it down were that those called were AT&T cellular customers. It was also not long after I dropped Verizon and switched to VOIP phone service through my cable company, so I had vague notions of AT&T screwing up in properly understanding what number actually called.
Those I spoke to were all nice enough when I explained that no, it wasn't me who called them, and I had no idea who did, sorry.
I was getting a spate of calls a while back from a chap who actually wanted to speak to my SO. I had no idea where he got our number or knew of her. He turned out to be calling from Jamaica the island, not Jamaica the neighborhood in the Borough of Queens. The last call, he wanted me to send him New York City phone directory, because he was trying to contact his wife who he claimed lived in NYC. I said "And does she want to talk to
you?" when I refused. (If I were her, I'd be happy to be far away from him.) I want so far as contacting my cable co. to see if there was a way of blocking incoming VOIP calls based on calling number, but alas, there wasn't.
He was the only caller I ever said "You're stupid! <bleep> off and die!" to before hanging up violently.
