About two years ago, someone named Alnar (a man I do not know) requested information about health insurance. For whatever reason, either as a mistake or otherwise, he gave them my Google Voice phone number.

I was getting, without hyperbole, more than 150 calls per day, about 100 of which were Robocalls, all of which were trying to sell me healthcare. When I would get humans, they were always asking for Alnar.

This went on for about three months, until I just decided to no longer have my Google Voice number route to a "real" phone anymore. I still get about 40 calls a day, most from robots, but they're manifested in the form of transcripts on Google Voice.

I hate Alnar, I hope he steps on a Lego block, but even more I hate that it must be at least a little profitable to do this phone spam. They're making the phones largely unusable.
