Pennysaver Ad

We have received more than a dozen calls since Wednesday about an ad we placed in the Pennysaver. The problem? We never placed an ad. We got 5 calls in a row yesterday from some woman who was convinced we placed an ad and had to enroll her son in our tutoring program. She was creative- first she called a restricted number, then a cell phone, then a land line, then who knows about the other 2, but they all showed her name on the caller ID. Her persistence did not pay off. Finally, this morning after we received another call I googled our phone number and nothing came up. I went onto the Pennysaver's website and typed the area code and prefix and the very first ad to come up was almost our phone number. The last 4 digits were just mixed. It was a tutoring center however. So let this be a lesson to check the number you are dialing and not misdial.
