When a number is disconnected it's taken offline for a while to allow notifications to get out. Normally this should be 6 months or so, but depending on population growth it could circulate faster. If you have a 212 number I hear they hold on to them like family heirlooms. This is probably the 3rd or 4th round of collectors that are just recieving the file after the number was taken out. All you can really do is ask them to stop and take them to court if they persist.
