Thumbs down Bizarre Phone Calls

A month or so ago I received a strange call to my mobile one evening:

Some woman screaming down the phone at me saying that my number was "on her man's phone". She acted as though I was a woman, shouting and swearing and carrying on about me being ***** and saying she would kill me. Due to the obvious gender discrepancy I didn't bother carry on the conversation too long.

Recently I received a very similar call but this time it was from a man who said the same sort of thing, except now he had found my number "on his girlfriend's phone". He was also a bit more inventive, saying he would knee-cap me, murder me and generally be not very nice. Both callers claimed to "know where I live" although neither provided any evidence.

Both callers sounded of afro-carribean origin.

Is this some kind of half *rsed wind up or have I accidentally got involved in someone's sexual paranoia?

For the record, I haven't phoned or been involved with any of these people, as far as I know.

cool - if it's a wind up that's no problem.

Still, I can't really see the point of it if the people making the call don't know who I am. They sound like adults, not 12 year olds going thru' the phone book looking for mr & mrs wall.

Do they really get a kick out of hearing me saying repeatedly "'I'm sorry, but I don't know who the f*ck you are or what you are talking about."

Oh well - it takes all sorts I guess.

Its a recorded message wind up - have a look in the back of mags like FHM etc for them. Some can be done where the other person can hear you talking to the recorded voice

Ah - that would explain why the woman didn't respond when I asked her if she was f*cking deaf and if I sounded like a bird. I guess they must have pressed the wrong button that time.

How can I find out which c*cksucker at work is sending me these poxy things?

I can't believe I didn't realise it was just a recording, even though there was a bit of a gap before the ranting started.

A poxy cab driver?

I was thinking more along the lines of something early 20s, female with a nice sexy accent. Then she can phone me up all she likes. I'll tell the wife "calm down dear, it's just another of those prank phone calls".

btw are you going to the lane on Sunday? Unfortunately all our tickets are taken.

Talking

Quite often the person that arranged the call will be listening in.

2 words - "Pea Whistle"
