Why did Bolivia call at 5am?

61 replies

My phone is on Do Not Disturb until my alarm at 6:30am. Had a missed call notification from a Bolivian number. Seems a bit long distance for a scam and a bit early for a cold caller.

So, why would Bolivia try to call at 5am?

To give you their Eurovision Song Contest votes? Grin

Probably auto dialling random numbers

I had a call from the Seychelles once. Dont know what they wanted though.

DonkeyHohtay · 29/04/2019 08:18

Ah, but it wasn't 5am in Bolivia.

HeronLanyon · 29/04/2019 08:19

Oh for goodness sakes isn’t it obvious ? Your long lost Bolivian uncle was obviously calling to ask a bank account related favour.
Some people are so suspicious !

Mrsjayy · 29/04/2019 08:20

They are everywhere i googled a missed call last week Taiwan !

They have a special offer to improve part of your anatomy through drugs, it's all part of a new drive to take over the market share from Colombia.

TheMaddHugger · 29/04/2019 08:27

Scam or long lost cousin is my bet!
Just make sure you're not Guyana let it worry you too much

brizzlemint · 29/04/2019 08:45

Yes, move on. Even if he was from Argentina and not Bolivia he wouldn't be crying for you.
