I signed up for a Grand Central phone number shortly after Google acquired the service and I received a Beta Invite. Not sure why I did. I don’t use it. The idea of one number you could keep and direct to other numbers sounded appealing.

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of odd phone calls. First, the number was accidentally published in an ad looking for truck drivers. I started getting phone calls asking about the job. I eventually found out the company and contacted them.

I more recently started getting calls from an elderly gentleman. I always let them go to voice mail. Listening to the message embedded above, I guess he got tired of that.
