Freaky phone call

Amy · Aug 30, 2008

I just answered the phone, and I got a recorded message saying, "This number (which I didn't recognise), has sent you a message which reads, "Be careful Amy, there is a man with a knife going round [my hometown]".

I checked on my mobile and nobody has sent me a text. I didn't know the number mentioned on the phone, or the number of the person calling. Why would someone text my landline, and how the hell did they get hold of the number and just happen to know my name?

Strange and unsettling.

I would be packing my bags for a week long trip out of town if I were you.

Are you on Face-Ache or My-Spaz? Apparently lots of t'Internet info is revealed on them?

Grim
P.s. It's probably just a mate on a wind-up?

I'm on both, but my phone number isn't on either, and my 'address' is vague to say the least.

My friends don't really do things like that. And if it was them, then I'd recognise their mobile number sooner or later.

You SHOULD call the Police right NOW.

It is probably a wind up, but is illegal and dangerous.
Just because somebody thinks it's funny to send terror messages does not mean it should be ignored.
At the very least the cops will have a quiet word with the twerp.
This kind of call to the wrong person could cause days or weeks of panic and fear.
You must report it now.

Sorry to hear this...

Could be some sick joke, i really don't know. Maybe let the police know or something.

i forget the site,but a friend of mine showed me it once,you can send texts to a phone and you wont recognize the number,people use it if they wanna text someone but do not have a cell phone,but it can also be used to prank people.

That's really scary Amy, I agree, you should go to the police
I am always suspicious of any package that comes for me, thinking that some internet person has sent me a dead stoat.

You're suppose to put holes in the box not the stoat! Jesus Chirst, sometimes I just DO NOT KNOW what to do with you :mad:

Oh that was blood? I thought fork holes would be like ventilation for the little mite, i thought it may be lactating.... :confused:

It was my first time...

Freaky indeed. So Amy, what's the latest?

btw, I love your user title.

Amy · Aug 31, 2008

Out of curiosity, I typed in the number of the person who called me into Google - apparent it is a T-mobile number, well known for scams and sending dodgy messages to people like, "This is the beginning of the end" etc.

Nice work, detective

How did they get your name--thru your (phone) provider?

Assholes. :mad:
