Sorry, changing the focus, I feel the need to rant and mention something that happened to me once. (I have some documentation on it, I made a police report, and I have a log of telephone activity on Google which proves it. (And I don't think (I'm getting younger over time ;-), and as I do, my memory gets worse. ;-(

I once made a voice call to one of my financial institutions, and got a scammer instead of the financial institution. I made two subsequent calls to the same number, documented by the Google voice telephone log. The log showed that I dialed the same number all 3 times -- one went to a scammer / spammer, the next two got to the financial institution. I made a police report and I tried to investigate how that could happen, and in the course of doing so, posted something on one of the google support forums (right word?) about what happened. Someone on the list, whom I later realized was somehow a Google employee (maybe someone paid somehow to monitor the forums (and maybe provide help in some cases?), replied to say that was *absolutely impossible*, absolutely could not happen. Shortly thereafter, my post to the list disappeared. _uckers!
