I used to work at a place and my desk phone number would end with
7000.  There was a period that about twice a month or maybe once a
week, the same guy would call and ask me the banana price.  Lol.
Surely he was dialing the wrong number, but very often.  Weird.

For about a decade, about once per 18..24 month, I was getting
misterious phone calls -- always different very, very, very friendly
people (young female voice: "Hello, Dude", me: "something went wrong",
YFV: "This isn't Dude", me: "No, I'm not").  Then weirdest shit had
happened.

My phone account gets updated for laughable amount (equivalent to 4..5
rides on public transport).  In 2h I've got a phone call from exactly my
number except it was different operator (locally, operators get pools of
numbers in blocks of 10mil numbers).  Mature male voice: "There was a
mistake;  Nephew of mine tried to update my account and entered wrong
number, yours;  I need my monies back", me: "I cannot neither confirm
nor deny" (I really speak like this), MMV: "How so?", me: "I don't check
my account all the time, I update it monthly, and that's it", MMV: "But
monies!", me: "What you want from me? I have to get into my profile,
check balance, figure out how much I have to move.  Is it really worth
trouble?", MMV: "Whatever".  And, misteriously, this accident has
lifted curse -- no more misterious calls.
