I randomly get calls from a package delivery guy with an accent. He keeps calling the wrong number. tongue
I think it's happened about 3 or 4 times now. It doesn't happen too often, but I'm sure it's the same guy each time.

I got a birthday message to this guy named Ike.

trinary · 2012-06-01 23:14:48

We often get telemarketing messages offering to fix our computer. sad

sonatina · 2012-06-02 00:58:44

So the person texted you to ask you what your number was.
Is no one else going to point out that completely hilarious that is.

trinary · 2012-06-02 01:11:31

They might have an extraordinarily short memory...

Or they're sending text messages to randomly generated phone numbers, and then listing the ones that work, so that they can sell the numbers.

I'm assuming that it would just extract a number from the text...

So I would type 911.

Here is how the call would go:

911: Hello, what is your emergency?
Bot: Please take this time to awnser a 10 question political survey.
911: ...
Bot: Question 1: What is your opinion of the emergency services?
911: I AM the emergency services
Bot: Questio--
911: *sirens*
Bot: Thank you for your time.
*emergency guys show up at bot's location*

trinary · 2012-06-02 04:03:20

That's just...strange.

Have you??

nathanprocks · 2012-06-02 07:25:33

We used to have telemarketers calling us all the time until we signed up for some website that stops telemarketers.

EDIT: Found it! https://www.donotcall.gov.au/
