I've heard of that happening too Norm ,Hospitals using a private number so people don't answer the phone.
It's a bit of a problem all the scammers these days, your not even meant to say yes or no on a phone call these days in case a scammer records your voice and uses that .
When I checked my Gumtree account today a lot of the scammers have been blocked,it looks like Gumtree has finally done something.
