Like, I am pretty sure this is what is happening. I don't have good proof, and my sample size is small, but the coincidence is stretched enough to be suspect. They claim that places like hospital, and other professional networks, get these because when they buy groups of phone numbers for their PBX systems, sometimes they were owned, or used by, scammers.
