So, all you have to do to “out” anyone who ever talks to you on the phone is mis-inform Google that the number is a business and “boom” they’re out there.
Makes one want to start using callerID spoofing as a regular practice. I am calling from 212-555-1212.

What do you mean “out” them?

Get their phone number published on the open internet.

If you wanted to do that, you could just edit it into a business listing directly, or even create one. If it’s from the “was this a business” prompt, I expect it takes a bunch of people to say yes, not just one. (And if you get that prompt, Google associates your number with a business already.)
