I got a rather clever phishing telephone message on my answering machine the other day, for all the world like a nervous young man who isn't comfortable talking to answering machines, saying he's been trying to contact someone in my household who entered a contest, to tell them they've won a big prize.
The only thing that let it down (apart from "you've won a big prize", which is the natural giveaway these days) was the preceding lady saying "you have -one- message in your voicemail box". Why did they do that? My answering machine doesn't say that, and nor would anyone else's.

It was a wrong number :-)
