 I have a local realtor who had my old number on a PDF that google
 captured.

 I get SPAM calls wanting to add me to the Google Voice Search
 service directory, whatever that is. I've made it clear that it's a
 wrong number, and gotten repeated calls from their agents that usually
 get testy when I ask to be removed from their listing. They seem to
 imply that since they have it as a business listing, they have a right
 to call.

 I also get calls from customers trying to get a hold of the realtor. I
 send them to another realtor friend of mine. I wonder how much business
 she's lost.

 I've reached out to the realtor, explaining the situation, she
 effectively told me it's Google's fault and what did I expect her to
 do? I even sent her the link to the offending file, and it's still on
 their web site.
