This morning I was on a site that wanted my phone number and birth date 
for ID. I was having a senior moment and couldn't remember the landline 
number. There are sites like whitepages.com that supposedly function like 
the old white pages. It went off on a long search, prepared a report with 
everything I ever wanted to know about myself for a small sum, $11 iirc. 
No simple phone number. I tried a couple of others and got the same sort 
of bullshit. Finally one showed some teaser info with all but the last 4 
digits obscured. That's what I needed so thank you and FAFO.

I never did find a site that just does a simple landline phone number 
lookup. I was going to try dialing 411 but I don't know if that's even a 
thing anymore. 411.com is another useless site.

At this point unless you've been living in a cave you're screwed.
