A male called me from this number who sounded very much like he was trying to fake a foreign accent. He asked for someone who does not live here. It sounded like he was trying to make up the name right there on the spot. Also, the name sounded like a joke.
When I told him he had the wrong number, it seemed like he was just fine with that. It was like he knew I was going to tell him he had the wrong number, At first, I thought this was just a kid making a prank call. However, now that I see all these comments online, I am seriously wondering what these people are trying to do by calling up and asking for people who do not exist?
We have caller ID and never answer unless it is a number we recognize or someone we know. The rest can (as Joe Walsh said) "leave a message and maybe I'll call". Have rec'd several calls from this number with never a message and so I got curious and looked. Yup same thing Harrington, DE. So, thank you Jen - hey maybe if I'm in an "evil" mood the next time I'll answer and tell them how I feel about [***].
I guess I'm lucky -- I only recieve one or two calls a day. I never answer anyway unless I recognize the number or if I find out they are bill collectors as I know the call is not for me and I ask them to stop. I don't know why they persist when day-after-day no one answers. I know it's annoying, but I choose not to be rude to these type of callers as they are only attempting to make a living. We can all count ourselves fortunate if we don't have to work in these types of jobs.
This number has called here several times, and I don't answer. They don't leave a message, and I'm pretty sure it's not someone we know. I wish they'd stop!
