That is easy they just go through numbers sequentially so it doesn't matter if your number is unlisted or not you will still get the call.
By giving them hell you just confirm your number is unlisted.

1213534 2011-07-01 04:26:00 I ran their remote program from inside Wine, with no additional mounts mapped (which means no direct filesystem access to anything outside of the Wine sandbox), and watched the session. I had every intention of intervening and putting them on a separate user account if necessary, but they were so utterly clueless it wasn't even worth bothering - they struggled to even figure out what to change (it didn't help that my standard desktop doesn't have *anything* displayed on it - I don't use a typical taskbar). The impression I got was that they thought I was running some kind of skin on top of Windows, but then kept getting confused when it behaved in unexpected ways, or didn't provide them with the options they were looking for.

:D :lol: I can just imagine it!
