Strange message left on my voicemail
My Moby rang at 01.50 this morning, I didn't pick it up as I didn't recognise the number5 but the caller left the following message
"Just returning your call, er, I think its in your best interest to call be back on 07********* otherwise I will have to tell your wife"
I rang the number from work this morning and it was the same prsons voice on the end of the line, I asked their name but they wouldn't say who they were and they left the line open for a few minutes before hanging up.
Now as far as i'm aware I have nothing to hide from the wife, so it could be a wrong number or just some saddo randomly ringing around or possibly some sort of scam.
Anyway it p*ssed me off all the same and I want to know who this clown is and what it is they think they have on me, I am tempted to call him from my mobile at 2 in the morning and return the favour, other than that has anyone got any good idea's for a return call be it from my mobile or elsewhere ??

I'm thinking premium rate number here, or possibly someone with a wrong number - once had a guy phone me 6 times one day looking for his mate, he was adamant that this was his number and after the 2nd call we figured out he had 2 digits the wrong way round, still didn't stop him calling me another 4 times though!!
But the way you say they left the line open for a few minutes before hanging up - definately sounds like some sort of scam going on here.

He was stuttering on the voice message which was interspersed with um's and ah's, probably heard a male voice and was frantically thinking what to say so used the "wife" routine just so i'd call back and earn him £1.50.

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. It's easy to make a mistake. We once had an African woman who left a message to say 'Michael, hurry back with those lemons' ?!?!? The weird thing is that's my name! Complete fluke! (checked the number etc).
I also had a call from Scotland at a similar time one morning, saying they don't know how they will get home and can they have a lift, I said 'Sorry, I live in Barnsley and don't even know you so it's not going to happen!'

I googled the number and nothing has come back saying anything about a scam. Funnily enough I googled my own number and it returned 2 results

I can beat that, I've some crazy woman who tells everyone she lives at my address. I had BT giving me a hard time yesterday as she was having a new line installed! 
The mothercare stuff she had delivered went down well though! Crazy bint doesn't even know where she lives (I do though 
)
P.S. Joking about the mothercare stuff I managed to get hold of her and tell her to collect it and stop telling the gas/electricity/bank/Orange/Mothercare/credit card she lives with me - if my wife finds out

I just rung it and after ringing 6 times, it went through to the O2 v/mail service.
I left him a message which said "just returning your call, and I think its in your best interest to call be back otherwise I will have to tell your wife that you're in a gay relationship with Funkii Munkii"

You were pretty cagey about ringing from work and not from home ...... Maybe you have more to hide than you are letting on
