On-Star call

[Arik]

Many years ago in NYC, we began to receive obscene phone calls. When it became oppressive, we had our # changed. The new # proved to be the former # of an escort service. Calls from men arriving in NYC with the service's business card asking for "Michelle." Can't make this stuff up.

I had a similar one about 10 years ago. Some guy kept calling for a woman, forget her name, at like 5 am and complaining that she has been late and not showing up to work. half asleep I kept trying to tell him there was no one here by that name but he wouldn't believe me. After about a week he stopped calling. I guess she was fired

Got one today. My daughter went thru a divorce several years ago. Per court order her ex was to pay all of his share of the debt. Well just like child support they just can't get a dime from his turnip rear.

This morning my cell phone rings, rough tough guy tells me I'm listed as a contact and he's looking for my daughter so they can subpoena her to court.

Hmm, she did her part and is clean.

I said subpoena, who are you with? He said he is going thru federal data bases. I said Federal data bases? Wow large words, are you a fed? He did not respond. I said Law firm? No response, I said exactly who is your immediate employer, he hung up.

I called my daughter to alert her that one of her ex's bill collectors might call. She said they just did, she told them to fly a kite, and she has checked them out with the better business bureau who says that bunch has many negative complaints. He thought he could scare me into paying it to keep my little girl from getting the dreaded subpoena, per her info. Poor little scamming con artist boy thought he could scare me. Ha the darn fool didn't know that not only do I not have the extra funds I also have walked into the thick brush to kick out a growling black bear.

Gee I now wish he was with me on that hunt. Yes sir Mr little con guy my daughter is in that brush thicket. Oh she's just growling to scare you, go get her....

I replied, "Look, I don't know who you are, or who Tom is."

Next time, say-
"Look, I'm tied up at the Courthouse all day, but if you give me your name and number, I can have one of the ADA's call you back."

I came home to find a message in a deep southern drawl on my answering machine:

That was me. I thought you'd catch on!

Back when my wife and I were first married the phone number we had was one number off from a local donut shop. We used to get calls for them all the time. We finally got tired of telling these folks that they had the wrong number and just started taking their orders.

model70hunter,
If her name is on the debt, she probably is liable. Happens all the time. I think the only recourse she has is to take the ex back to court for the money. Dean

Every once in a while I get a call for my father who passed away in 1995. I inherited the house and kept the same phone number.
If they ask for him, I tell them they need to call this number and give them the number to reach him.....

It's really funny the call backs I get when they realize they just dialed a cemetery and I ask them if they weren't forwarding his calls.....

We got those at our first # when we first got married. MIL was over one one day and answered and told the caller the person they were looking for died.

When we first moved to CO, we apparently had a number that belonged to someone who owed some money. We kept getting calls, I kept explaining that the person no longer lived there.

After about a dozen calls, I finally pretended that I was that person. When I was informed that "I" would be sued if I didn't pay the debt I replied "Well F off B-----, come and find me!". Then I hung up. Didn't get any more calls.
