Please help me find a US (Washington DC) phone number
Hello.
I've received several wrongly addressed parcels/letters from someone in Washington DC. Today I got one with the sender's name and address.So, I have all their (postal) details, but I suspect they've just left a digit off of the house number.
What I'd like to do is call them up and get the right details, and re-deliver the post.
I've tried all the Directory websites I can think of, but so far I've drawn a blank (one had a number, but I had to pay $19.95 to access it... I don't think so!). So I wondered, can someone (in the US) help me find their phone number? - If you think you can help me, PM me for the senders details.
