Abusive phone message...what would you do?

[Orang Utan]

much more of a passive aggressive approach to this is seeming as they did not have the common sense to hide their number before sending abusive messages

would it not be horrible if someone took that number , when to google and typed in "request a call back" and filled in every bloody result that popped up
focusing on personally injury claims , all the diesel admission, herbalife and maybe a few evangelistic christian services

Genius!

 

[Orang Utan]

Yes. Nothing shows up. Its definitely a personal number

Could it just be kids calling random numbers?

Sounds like a mature male voice. Not a kid or teen.

Is it your dad?

Good one ...

No

So..I got a call..couldnt answer it because I was busy.
Lookee at my phone later to see missed call from a mobile number I didnt recognise and a voicemail from the same number.
Checked the voicemail and there was silence...then tapping...then "FUCKING WANKER!!"

So my question is..should I phone this number back? Or just delete it and forget about it.

Also...is this a scam to get people to phone back?

I am aware it could be a wrong number.....

Not sure if it's just me but:
1) 'Fucking wanker' doesn't see that abusive
2) You're giving this way more headspace than it currently merits

I'm just throwing it out there for urban to do what they do...

I've blocked the number.

But in all seriousness...nobody gets my number and I have had problems in the past

I see your point.

I would only add that "Fucking Wanker" is an "insult" not normally aimed at women, so your point 2) may well be good advice.

Again... most of the thread is amusing.. I've already blocked and deleted etc etc

 

[WouldBe]

That...would be genius.

You could look up 'penis enlargement clinics' etc for them.

You don’t know how anxious it can make some people though, tbf. You don’t know what came before this, if anything did. No one but Alladin does and they’re not obliged to share any more details, should there be any.

 

[Orang Utan]

Nope. Never heard of it!

 

[Monte]

Isn't "fucking wanker" an oxymoron, I mean you're either doing one or the other.

Never heard of a reach around?

You're already spending far too much thinking about this.

However did this was a dickhead, and dickheads should be blocked and forgotten as soon as their stupid shit appears on your horizon.

 

[Aladdin]

I do realise its a straight forward thing. Block number and delete text and forget about it. I have sone this.

Thanks all.. and orangutan you are right. Past events have definitely made me nervous about things that wouldn't bother many people. Good of you to see below the surface.

Also...on two occasions recently I found a dead rat on the front step. Once in early Feb and again last week. I guess a cat could have killed them both and left each on the step?

I don't like that my head goes straight to fear... but I will just try to stop that feeling and breathe.

 

[StoneRoad]

I'm with the bin, ban, block camp ...

and then forget it.

However, given that it may, however unlikely, be more than just a random drunken dickhead, I would also log it with the old bill. Ditto the doorstep pressies [and get a trail cam !].

Yes you have. I'd be very wary if it's the same person. They seem quite obsessed with you, if it's the usual suspect.

Anyway, block block block. Don't let them get to you, whoever the hell they might be.
