What I meant was- the CEO did actually call me; from a number with the same prefix as my own. It was on a weekend, and a call came into my cell that only showed the number. As it turned out the CEO hadn't been able to get ahold of any of my managers, and I was able to help him out.

So had I followed the previous advice of "Just don't pick up numbers you don't recognize"- it would have negatively impacted my company. As you said the calls are more of an annoyance than anything. As much as I prefer to not receive the annoyance calls, sometimes you just have to answer anyway.
