Maybe they just made a bunch of extra money by storing those hundreds
of hits and selling the numbers to a telemarketing-valid-phone-numbers
distribution firm.

In fact, I think the poster who put up the number actually owns a
telemarketing-valid-phone-numbers distribution firm and faked the MCI
message.

At this very time, our numbers are being distributed to telemarketing
firms across the globe.


Good phone numbers are freely available without thiis. Google (among
others) will not only sell your phone number, they will give the
customer a browsing history if you have ever given your phone number
to a merchant on the web who stores cookies.

True story, my wife googled replacemnent windows and 20 minutes later
her CELL PHONE rang. It was a saleman from Sears who said "we see you
have been looking at windows" and told her about the windows she
looked at (none of them at Sears.com).
The common denominator google, the ultimate evil.

I give Google as little information as possible, and never keep
cookies for them.
