    Had this really weird phone call on my mobile this afternoon.

    caller: is that shane?

    me: yes, shane drew speaking.

    caller: your Dee’s boyfriend then?

    me: na mate you’ve got the wromg number

    caller: no I haven’t, you are shane?

    me: what number did you call.

    caller: repeats my mobile number

    me: yep that is my number, but I am not Dee’s boyfriend. I am happily married with 2 kids.

    caller: I don’t care, you are still Dee’s boyfriend.

    me: Excuse me, I AM NOT ANYONES BOYFRIEND!

    caller: Ok get me shane then.

    Me: I am shane

    Caller: No you must be Chris, get me shane then.

    Me: chris who? What do you want?

    Caller: I want Dee’s boyfriend, shane. I have his mobile and I want shane.

    Me: who is Dee?

    Caller: Dee is shanes partner in the in the snack bar at Geebung

    Me: I have a client that owns a snack bar in Geebung, her name is June, and it is a shop called Tasty Temptations.

    Caller: Yeah thats the one, so you ARE Dee’s boyfriend!

    Me: I don’t know a Dee. I work for June, and she is a client only. I AM HER SIGNWRITER NOT PARTNER!

    Caller: yeah whatever.. You are Dees Boyfriend, I don’t care what you say

    Then he hung up.

    What a loony. Now I am worried if he is not some twisted ex of this person called Dee, who it appears may have been previous owner of the snack bar. How he got my mobile and name is anyones guess, but I must confess I am a little worried that this idiot knows me and I don’t know him.

    after a pause…
    ” sorry, she can’t talk now, she’s got my D**k in her mouth!”

    You’ve got to ask yourself..

    Did you get drunk one night and start a relationship with Dee. Your guilty conscience won’t allow you to believe it realy happened so you have blotted it out of your memory.

    If I was you I’d be worried.

    What’s Dee like by the way 😀 (have you got any pictures you could share) :lol1:

    Oh dear Shane … they obviously have you muddled with someone else. Lets hope he doesnt call back? Otherwise its a very weird prank call!!

    I keep getting calls at home for a music shop … we have one digit different ….. I say “Hello” the person on the other end just starts babbling on about microphone stands or guitars or pianos …I cant get a word in edge ways sometimes. It always makes me laugh though when after I say “sorry you have the wrong number” they actually say “Oh are you sure your not the music shop?” 😮 :lol1: Some peope huh!! Goes to show there are worse nutters out there than me 😛

    Thanks Shane.

    Your post reminded me that a customer of mine called Dee owed me 135 squids. I have just returned from collecting the money.

    So that’s good, I’m 135 notes better off. You, unfortunately, still have a nutter on your case. Do what I’d do, ask to meet the caller and then beat 3 ton of sh!te out of him. Works every time.

    i had a call some weks back,

    cockney guy ” who is this”

    me…. depends who you are (laughed), can i help yuo ?

    CG… yeah your numbers on my girls (as in wife or whatver) phone, who are you ?

    me…. my numbers is on lots of peoples phones for lots of different reasons, who are you ? what is her name ?

    CG, i know wher you live you bleep bleep bleep etc,

    me….. how can i explain or defend myself if your too stoopid and irate to tell me who she is or even what part of the country you’re in,

    CG, you talk to her again and i’ll snd the boys down, i’ll effin have you you C@@@,

    me, if you know who and where i am, why ask who am at the start ? if you aint gonna tell me her name, where she lives etc then i cant say owt in return can i,

    CG, repeated earlier sentence about knowing me,

    me…. well get yer cockney arse down here and bring yer mrs so we can sort it out, make sure yer boys are well padded cos mine’ll be here too, sat in the kennel waiting,

    CG, yeah yeah, you talk to my girl….. etc

    me, click, hung up mid spiel,

    personally it did have me really woried, i had no idea who he was, or even who his ‘girl’ might be, phoned a couple of people who’d recentlybought stuff on ebay from me (both from londona and female) but they knew nothin of it etc, came to nothing, and i now suspect it was one of them prank pre-recorded calls where the instigator can listen in for a luagh, if it was, then they got me good !

    I don’t drink Phill, so I am pretty sure your scenario would not apply 🙄

    And I am not too sure I’d want to aggrevate him anymore than he is either steve.

    I do actually get wrong numbers all the time on my mobile, but I always try and be friendly. Have had some really funny conversations with some, others just hang up and don’t say a word.

    But this bloke actually worries me to be honest. Pranks are one thing, but this guy was serious. Like hughes bloke, when someone is so unreasonable, they are unpredictable.

    I don’t know his name, so can’t go to the police. I’ll call June today and see what she knows.

    Glad the post did some good anyway Andy 😛

    Carrie, my office number has been incorrectly printed in the phone book for the local school. I get people telling me that Johnny will not be at school today. When I tell them it is not the school, they say it must be ‘coz it is in the phone book. Then hang up. :doh:

    Hi Shane,
    That’s not strange

    i have something that has been going on for over a year now.
    some women calls me and want me dead every weekend i receive private calls
    Police are working on it nothing yet but now i don’t answer private calls.
    She knows my number what i look like where i live and she knows everything first time she started she called my work place and i almost lost my job because of her but lucky I’m good in what i do so my boss didn’t ask me to get out. This has been going now for far too long I’m scared and i feel unsafe and worried and i wish to know who she is and why is she doing this to me.
    its unfair
    And i feel like vomiting yesterday i went to bed thinking about this person.
    its sick

    Nancy’s reply made me realise how unsettling something like this must be. Sorry for being so flippant earlier Shane 😕 – I hope that you don’t get any more calls from this guy.

    Nancy – I hope the police catch this creep soon.

    all is cool Phill,
    I hope they catch the creep as well.
    This can happen to anyone. and I’m not sure how to deal with it anymore all i know is i want her to stop even though i want to know who the person is i just want her to stop.
    not sure what to do every time i pick up the phone 2 answer a call i am not sure how 2 deal with this person. or what 2 say to her i want o upset her but i kind i get a brain freeze

    ohhhh to be honest i do admit she is getting to my head and life.

    Exactly the same as Hugh

    Had some wierdo about ten oclock at night ranting and raving asking who I was because he saw my number on his girl friend’s mobile

    Then the threats – knows where I live and all that stuff

    I thought nothing of it as I reasoned that my number was probably on a lot of mobiles… after all I’m in business

    I was able to dismiss quite quickly (unusual for me)
    Yes! It could be a harmless prankster but the worrying thing is that it could easily be the jealous posessive bloke who beats up his girl friend for a simple glance at another bloke

    There are some real nutters out there-Unfortunately some women have to put up with them

    Nancy: Real sorry to hear you have this strange woman on your back for so long

    It would be dead easy for me to say: “Try not to worry about it”
    However, the truth is, I’d be scared stiff

    Hope the Police find this person and end your ordeal

    Wow Nancy, you take care. I had a woman stalk me about 2 years ago. She apparently saw my number on the side of my van when I was stopped at some traffic lights, and started calling me at all times of the day and night. Even my wife answering my phone didn’t slow her up.

    When she originally started ringing me, I was not worried because she told me she lived on the north side, but her last few calls, she told me she moved to my suburb to be close. That really freaked me out.

    She told me she was muslum in her last call, and that she wanted to know if I’d support her in her call to arms against australians.

    I can’t repeat what I said, as it may offend some here, but needless to say I have not heard from her since.

    Phill, as far as your comments go, no offence was taken mate.

    Anyway, as an update, my snack bar client called in today to discuss some more work so I asked her who Dee was. She confirmed it was the previous owner.

    I asked her if Dee had a boyfriend called Shane, and she said yes, but told me not to mess with him as he is a very violent criminal that is always in trouble. She is really scared of him.

    Turns out she left my name and number on the snack bar counter when she was buying the place a week or so ago, and she thinks someone must have assumed it was him. She thinks the call I got was someone looking for a ‘job’ to be done.

    Hopefully he will not call back. 😮

    Hi Shane,

    Sorry to read about your problem mate. I have a mobile but I don’t let anyone have my number except family. When a customer wants to speak to me, they phone work (all family) and then work phones me so then I call the customer with my number blocked. This saves a lot of agro as I don’t get calls on my mobile when I am away from work. May be best to get a new number and do the same Shane, for peace of mind.

    Nancy,

    Get a whistle and when she phones, blow the thing down the phone. With any luck, you’ll burst her eardrums!!!

    Shane, that’s good though mate, at least you have an explanation to give the idiot if he ever calls you again, which should get through his dumb skull. Some people eh?
