has anyone here been getting calls from "Tim Culver"???

[Bluerthanblue]

this isn't a 'joke'-

i'm getting a little freaked out by this...

He's a harassing caller, and i have some .... 'issues' that really get triggered by this kind of thing...

thanks to anyone who can help.

peace,

1. could you reveal more context?

is it in relation to any internet activities?

what area code and prefix is the number?

3. its a Kansas #- and we have

a 'rule' in our house, no answering the phone if mom isn't home- i've been getting these calls for the last several weeks, this time it came through on 'caller id' as "Tim Culver"- with the same #.

When i answer, it's either 'breather' or hang up. If i let the answering machine get it, it's hang up.

This happens pretty often, at least once a day- ??-


don't think it has anything to do with internet, i am kind of paranoid about giving out personal info,- needed to be that way for good reasons-

thanks for replying-

5. call the phone company

and report the person as a harassing caller. They may not be able to catch them, but they may be able to block that caller or log their calls and it might help build a case against that person if they are caught somewhere.

Also don't answer it if it is this person.

Sounds like a strange person and harassing

:pals:

8. thanks- i'm settling

down now- and i am going to call and ask that the # be blocked-

what simple rational advice- (duh) I should know enough to do that :blush:

I only have caller id on one phone, not the other, so i don't know who it is sometimes- blocking the # should eliminate this silly panic... :P

I appreciate the help
very much-

thanks,

2. I have phone anxiety

I hate taking or making calls. So now my phone ringer is turned off and my answering machine says 'for 25 cents you can leave a message for Mr. Hfojvt. Please enter your credit card number after the tone."


edit: is this by any chance about the Kansas AG? I got one such call way back, pressed one to discontinue, and have not heard any more. I get robocalls telling me to dial an 800 number. I wonder if that is a collection agency or something. It may not even be for me, could be for the last person with this number.

6. i haven't been

as afraid of the phone in the last few years- but repeated hang-ups, especially when you hear the caller hang up after you say hello un-nerves me. i have the same phone number that my family had since phone numbers were given out in our area here in NH- i think in the 50's? so i doubt it is for anyone except us, (unless it were a mistake- which wouldn't keep happening-?

I googled the name, and the first hit was for others who had been getting crank calls- which surprised me- i'm relieved to think i'm not alone in this, but can't understand why ...my # made the list??---

i like your message. If it were just up to me, i'd do something very similar-

thanks,
blu
