Unfiltered Story #57157
So I had been getting a lot of missed calls on my mobile – three or four a day – while I was at work and unable to answer, and all from the same number.
Initially I thought it was some sort of sales call, but the sheer persistence of the calls made me wonder if it might actually be something important – so when a call came at a time I COULD answer, I picked up…
Me: Hello
Heavily-accented female: Hi, could I speak to Mr [my FIRST name], please
Me: I am sorry, but there is no such person as Mr [my FIRST name] here.
Female: Oh – well, who am I speaking to then?
Me: I don’t think that’s relevant, given that the person you are looking for doesn’t exist!
Her: But – but –
Me: Please don’t call again [click]
I have had no more calls from that number since…
