Well, I did wonder about the unlisted thing. I have had an unlisted/unpublished number for years. The number I have now I have only had about 8 months, so when I type it in it comes up with the previous user's information. I didn't know if the error was due to the newness of the number or the fact that it was unlisted. Either way, it was a relief to me to find that because I had received a nasty phone call from some guy and I hung up on him. He called back making threats and saying he knew where I lived. I knew it wasn't anybody that I knew but it was very unnerving to realize that it was, and is, possible for a wrong number to turn out badly if you have someone with a few screws loose that happens to know how to use a computer.

I have an unlisted number and it does the same thing. It even comes up on caller ID with the previous person's name. I get telemarketers calling me all the time asking for the person who previously owned the number. That sucks because that is exactly why I got the unlisted number to start with.
