Weird telephone calls

Wondering if anyone can come up with a logical explanation for the weird phone calls I have been receiving. So my dh and I are not sure but about eight to ten years ago I started to receive telephone calls, always from the same number, where a guy would say 'hello Elliot' I would obviously say sorry who and he would say 'Elliot is that you'. I would say wrong number the first few times and hang up and then it became quite frequent and we think it was always Saturdays it happened. So I blocked the number and then I would randomly unblock the number and they would start up again. My dh got quite annoyed and phoned the person back but again just saying hello Elliot and no other response. It wasn't an old voice if that makes sense. I mean it wasn't an elderly person who had got the wrong number. It became quite sinister. Again blocked and then every couple of years when I got a new phone and the number would be unblocked it would start up again and I would block again. You kind of forget about until again I just got a new phone after three years and on Saturday one of the first calls I had was again the same guy asking for Elliot!!How is this possible??? How would the said person just happen to try the number the very Saturday I got a new phone and am I right to now feel creeped out by this? What would you do?

@CastleOfDoom

Hmm, just a thought. They call on a Saturday afternoon and the number seems to be linked to a football club?. Could it be maybe that Elliot plays for that team and they try and contact him with the number they have on record (obviously wrong) to see why he hasn’t turned up?.

This makes the most sense ^
Maybe it's a different person ringing each time to see why the unreliable Elliott has not turned up again.

For a number of years!

You'd think they might have twigged by now Grin

ButterMeUpScotty · 06/12/2020 16:38

Very creepy.

I would change your number and also maybe report the number of the person who keeps calling you to BT or something to see if they can do something about the harassment.

Unfortunately it might someone who is mentally ill who is stuck in a pattern of repeating the same behaviour...

Magic1231 · 09/12/2020 12:31

Oh that is weird! My best guess would be as others have said, somebody who is mentally ill with an obsessive mental disorder...
I mean, of course the other option could be paranormal...
I would also suggest saying 'this is Elliot' although from what you've said sounds as though the person might just keep repeating themselves xxx

Very creepy as most people would give up after being blocked for so long

strawberriesontheNeva · 13/02/2021 04:14

Did you ever find anything out about Elliot/ creepy caller op?

TheCatThatGotTheCream · 13/02/2021 04:44

Magic1231 · 19/02/2021 12:44

Any updates?xxx

SliderTimeYay · 16/04/2021 12:32

@weirdcallsforme - any news? My family had similar issues and the Police got involved (think the woman calling was unwell) and things are fine now. Hope you're okay 💐

luluxo · 23/05/2021 12:57

Oh that's proper freaked me out Confused

It has to be your Dh!

@weirdcallsforme did you ever figure out who Elliot or the mystery caller was?

I wonder if you or the previous owner of your phone number ever 'wronged' an Elliot at some point in your lives and the caller doesn't ever want you (or the previous phone number owner) to forget it?

I apologise for bumping this zombie, but the thread randomly popped into my head today.

Was there ever a resolution?
