I used to have a phone number that ended in 1237, and the local PBS station's number during begathons was had the same area code and first three digits followed by 1234, so during every pledge drive I would get calls from people who accidentally went down one row on the last number. I used to joke that I should take their credit card info and promise them that they would get that Doctor Who mug.
Last year I got a lot of calls inquiring about a car for sale on a car-sale-related web site, and when I checked the online ad, those weren't wrong numbers: my number was the one posted. I thought that the seller was from the other area code for this neck of the woods, but that number was disconnected. Weird. I had to tell people to try e-mailing the seller instead--I hope it all worked out.
