Amid all the tales of pretending to be the business whose phone number
was misprinted and making promises to callers that the called party
isn't going to keep, are there any tales of the callee's simply
saying, "Sorry, they've gone out of business"?  It seems that would
stop the caller from dialing but would cause a lot less damage.
