It's similar to ebau.com and ebat.com. They are typo domains being
redirected to sites that offer the same sort of things that eBay does,
except they get paid if people click on their could-be-useful links.
This is a typo phone number. Maybe Steve offered it to the carrier, or
tried to but it was too difficult to get to the right person. Steve has
no obligation to do anything here, and he's choosing to try to sell it to
someone who will find the value in the calls he finds annoying.

Or not. Nobody is obligated to do so. But, I agree with Steve, it would
be a nice thing to do.
