In my home town, our home phone number was one digit off from the local bar. We used to get drunks calling aaaaaaalll the time in the middle of the night checking to see if "we" were still serving drinks.
This is the first time I've run into a wrong number where the greeting was 'Hey ma,' though. (Apparently, even the drunks could tell the difference between (almost) the number for the bar and the number for their mothers!)
I haven't gotten any particular omg-stalker-ish calls though, thank goodness!
Oh man. When I was growing up, we had a phone number one digit off from a seafood restaurant. "Mama's Sea House".
One time, a guy called asking to make a reservation. I told him he had the wrong number, and he said I had a nice voice and did I want to go out with him? To Mama's Sea House. Told him no, and hung up. He called again. Told him I was 13 (which I was), and he said "so?" which meant he either didn't believe me, or didn't care.
He kept calling too, until my dad picked up the phone and demanded he stop calling.
edit: Fish house. Mama's Fish House. How could I ever forget? I even pretended to take a reservation once.

Weiredst i ever had was 5 calls in a week all looking for someone with the same name as me. So it was "Hi Nicole open up we're outside." "O.o WTF It's 4 in the morning and no you're not!" for a week.
