Jonathan Nichols is the person in question, where he started to receive offers of backstage passes as well as images of ladies in bikinis from people whom he didn’t even know existed. One of his very first texts had a YouTube link, mentioning “Check this guy out”, where said YouTube video depicted a person making beats out of a synthesizer. Nichols texted back, “That’s pretty cool, but you clearly have the wrong number.”
This has been going on since 2012 back when he picked up his new handset that had hip-hop legend Sir Mix-A-Lot’s old Verizon number. Apart from that, he also received phone calls from luxury-car dealerships such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar, with all of them extending an invitation for a certain Mr. Anthony Ray to drop by and bring one of those exotic rides out for a spin.
Would you be willing to live with such a legendary phone number and its inconveniences that entail, or would you rather make a switch to something more anonymous?
