Weird phone calls - General

I sometimes get calls from people thinking I'm a church. But that's not interesting. What is interesting: 4 years ago (Jan 19 2010 now that I look at it, 4 years and 4 days heh), I got a text from a random number. "Mortis baber o estas cansada" The most I've been able to get from an acquaintance and Google translate is roughly "You're drunk and tired" or something like that. I'm still not entirely sure what it means, let alone why I got it.

Got a phone call. Its a Collect Call from a Prison in Lansing Michigan, the person who sent it said "Its me Honey" I am scared.

I dont remember getting any wierd calls, but i myself can be kinda wierd on the phone. Especially against telemarketers. "Hello mister, this is Jenny from Xcompany and i call to tell you about our- "OMG! Jenny it was such a long time ago since we last spoke! How are things?!" "No sir, i'm calling from the- "Are you still dating that wonderful Henry?! "You must have mistaken me for somebody else, i- "Omg i know, Henry was such a douche, you deserve better Guuurrll!" At this point they usually hang up.

I once had a phone call from a girl who sounded pretty old. "MA MA" "What?", I asked "MA MA", she said again "Oh wait sorry wrong number" and then she hung up :v:

This wasn't a phone call but a few years ago I received a text from an unknown number. It was a group message with all these other random numbers, and the only message that was sent was a picture of a lady holding a massive fish she caught. There was probably like five other numbers listed in the group and I was the only one that responded by saying "Nice." So all those other people received my message not knowing who the hell it was. :v:

A few days ago this woman started calling my phone asking for "Pernambuco" (Pernambuco is the name of a state so i'm guessing that's someone's nickname), after i politely said i wasn't a state, i proceeded to hang up, and then she called me again two more days and the same thing happened. Now for those instances i didn't really care about it because it happened during the middle of the day and i was doing nothing so it wasn't that big of a deal, but yesterday she happened to have called me at 10am, now mind you, i don't work and my classes don't start for at least two weeks, so my sleep schedule is fucked up to the point where i'm going to sleep 6am and waking at at 2pm. Basically that means she woke me up during the middle of my sleep, asking for this fucking asshole that i've explained isn't here around 3 times already, so i proceeded to scream at her as loud as i could, telling her how much i wish she and her whole family would die in a fire. She hasn't called me since, i think she got the message this time. I wasn't able to go back to sleep either so she basically ruined my entire day, so i have no regrets about this.

Some Indian dudes called me and said "Hello your PC is infected with virus." "I run Linux" "You run Leenax, okay bye."

[QUOTE=Jesus Crits;43639470]We get insurance telemarketers calling us all the time. I sometimes let the telemarketers listen to infomertials on the tv while my mothers boyfriend narrates them in the thickest southern accent humanly possible. The best part is, theyre not allowed to hang up first.[/QUOTE] I actually answer telemarketers sometimes. Usually I just put the phone down since they can't hang up. Or I'll scream into the phone.

Our unity is full of wonder, which your tiny individualism... cannot even conceive." [editline]24th January 2014[/editline] Or just recite Andrew Ryan's speech from the intro to Bioshock.

every summer 1-10 French people call my home number every day and asks to rent a boat. It's been bugging my family for 6 or 7 years now

[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;43645796]according to the telemarketers my pc is infected with viruses thanks telemarketers[/QUOTE] it would be amazingly hilarious of you didn't own a computer.

A guy from Florida called and asked if I was the one who stole his car.

I get calls from a sex clinic 3 to 4 days a week asking to speak with "Kandy" I didn't know my name was Kandy.

Luckily in aus we have the Do Not Call register, so if telemarketers call you they can lose their job and get fined

Got called from african country (Think it was somalia). They asked me in incredibly broken english if I wanted to invest in stocks and all I had to do was to send my Pin code.

Should have said "Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine? " :v:

I get calls all the time from the pharmacy telling me that various women's prescriptions of people I do not know need to be removed. Also law offices and random wrong numbers.

Someone trying to find "insert middle-eastern name I couldn't understand, around 6 syllables" with a number that was 13 numbers long. This were to our home-phone, which is 8 numbers because I live in Norway. I just gave it to my brother because I was probably like 13 or 14 and I didn't understand a thing.
