Mobile call

[littlebillie]

I’ve just been called on my mobile no demanding I confirm my name he was an older man and seemed very aggressive when I declined to answer he demanded who was on the phone.

Why could this information be required possibly for crime?

Could just be an old confused guy, I don't know, doubt they could do much with just a name but maybe they'd ask for more. Sounds like just a confused man though

When this happens to me I just say, well you rang me, who do you think you're talking to?
If they are genuine it normally proceeds in a more friendly way.
If not - hang up.

Sounds like he was confused, putting it mildly. It doesn’t sound like an attempt to clone your phone or start a fraud.

Not very nice for you to have to deal with an aggressive stranger, though.

I’d say 50s and aggressive not elderly

When my mum got her new phone number (years ago when I didn't just have all numbers saved in my phone) I thought it was 07970 instead of 07790 at the start, and dialed that with the rest of the number but within a second realised my mistake, hung up and redialed. A few minutes later after speaking to my mum some self-important goon having the number which was one digit different rang me back and demanded to know why I had called him and all manner of information (which I did not give), seemingly not being satisfied that it was simply a wrong number! He was actually quite creepy.

That happened to me too, catwoozle Bloke just wouldn't have it, I dialled 1 single number incorrectly. He was irate on the phone and really rude via a text. I blocked him.

He tracked me down via my business facebook page and posted an equally angry message there. A lot of FB friends heaped ridicule upon his head and he deleted his post

Perhaps it's someone being shady with a secret second mobile and they think they've been caught out

Poor bloke! Thinks he's being clever and there we are, catching him out!

I get people call my work and when I say they’ve called the wrong number “but this is the number I always call” Well clearly it isn’t because you normally get whoever you’re actually trying to call and today you’ve got me so you’ve obviously dialled wrong
