I came home today and played a message on my answering machine saying "Hi Tom, this is Yolanda at 1-800-XXX-XXXX I'm at extension ABC...please call me." Well Tom is my father in law who has never lived at my house but I call the number ready to give out his cell phone number thinking its another collections call for him. It bounced me to a phone sex line! My number is unlisted, and my father in law doesn't know my home phone number because we have constant problems with bill collectors calling for him, but my question is how the hell did a phone sex operator get my number looking for him?

There is no way that I misheard the number left on the machine by the way...

If you did not mis-dial a number, than someone has paid to do a search for all known records. Your number is only unlisted by the phone company. It can be purchased through any number of companies that specialize in tracking people. You probably were checked to see if someone can find your father by calling your number.

I'm guessing you were the victim of a scam. The caller left a pretty generic message. Tom being a VERY common name, there's a good choice ANYONE the called would have either had a Tom in the home or known one. In any case, the called party may likely call back to inform the caller they had made a mistake, and when the call is bounced, you get charged out the a**. Check your phone bill for large, unexpected charges. And if you find them, explain what happened to your local district attorney.

Has it occured to you that he may have called a phone sex service from your home?
Check your phone bill to see if the any out of usual numbers have appeared on it.

Connecting your father in law to you is a simple step these days. All you do is run a zabasearch ( http://www.zabasearch.com ) on your father in law and the search engine will pull up all kinds of interesting relationships.
