I have a similar kind of fun story. The emergency phone on the elevator at work had a phone number somewhat close to that of an appliance store. People would call the number, the elevator phone would immediately put them on speaker phone. I figured this out one time I heard a faint phone breathing sound, and I started speaking with the caller. This happened again about once a year, and I had a fun time explaining to the callers that not only did they have the wrong number, but they had reached an elevator emergency phone. This response always caused a great deal of confusion.

Okay thank you for sharing - I answered a spam call on an elevator emergency phone once and I was puzzled but found it funny. So there’s an actual number…oh boy if only there was a registry…

Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't get the elevator number from the callers. I really wanted it to play pranks on coworkers.

I've received a spam call in an elevator. The call asked me to press 1, and I'm still bummed it didn't work.
