I'm guessing that they got my number through an address directory. Okay, look at a phone book. Listed alphabetically, right? Useful for everyday use by normal people, but it's tits on a bull for what these guys need.
An address directory, however, is ordered by address, obviously. So they know they so-and-so lives in Apartment whatever, so they keep calling numbers in that same building until they get someone who is willing to do this. Just my luck that I was the first person to finally say "fuck it" and answer his phone. (Also, they're calling during normal business hours, when pretty much everyone else is at work, and I happen to be at home. It was either going to be me or one of the retirees in the building that they would end up getting a hold of, and I don't think most of the retirees would be willing to do this once, much less three times.)

And boy I hope this isn't on a cell phone. (Very glad I don't have a land line.)
