Our former land line number was the number for Frontier Natural Gas before we got it. Frontier had gone belly up, several years before we got the number. We got constant calls asking about the stocks. I would them the callers Frontier was no longer around, and one guy said he just minutes ago, got the number from information.

I called 411 and asked for the number for Frontier natural Gas and she gave me my phone number. I said wait, we have a problem! I could here a lot of keyboard clicks, and she said, I see the issue. I will report it and your number will not be given out anymore. That slowed down the calls. One time at 2:00 AM or so the phone rang and it was some angry German wanting too know about his investments in stocks. I told him he was SOL and that they were gone, dissolved, nothing left. And I hung up and I went back to bed.

It was a nice day when my wife finally relented and let me kill the land line. All we ever got were political calls and sales calls.
