When I took over Cupids in 2004 I kept getting a ton of wrong numbers. Seems that 416 532 4603 used to be the Korean YMCA and was published on many websites as still being active. It took a few months but I finally got them removed and even now I still get the odd call and I know how to say "Hello, How are you?" in Korean.

And now I have a new telephone number for my up and coming project of Ottawa and Kingston. I just installed the lines over the weekend and my phone has being ringing like crazy since. Why? Because it is the old number of the Kanata LCBO. Now I have the challenge of having it removed from various web sites but now it also in published in years and years worth of phone books. I think I will have to educate myself on Ottawa Region liquor stores, hours of operation and such.

I did have one gentleman laughing when I got the first call.

"Cupids"
"Where are you located and what hours are you open?"
"This is an out-call only service"
"Huh?"
"We only go to homes, condos and hotels"
"Isn't this the liquor store?"
"Um, we offer a different type of lick-her at Cupids, I think you have the wrong number"
 
I worked for company that had its 800 number mistakenly published on US government welfare advice pamphlet. What was typically 1 - 3 calls per day become 100,000+. Was quickly corrected, but damage done; upset, angry welfare recipients calling for years...
 
The opposite problem can be just as amusing: I had a friend whose business number got accidentally printed in a local paper as the number for a popular massage spa.

He was in the oil business:

"Hello XYZ Company"

"Hi is sexy sue available?

"Sorry, this is an oil company"

"Yeah, that's what I want, oil me up"
