Just got a strange phone call. Caller ID said U.S. Government

[karlrschneider]

number 570 830 3200. Lady asks for somebody named Williams, I say sorry you have wrong number. She says is this 918-46x-xxxx (our number) I said yes it is, she says okay and hangs up. Googled the number, no result but 570 is Scranton, PA area...we don't have any connection with that part of the world. I dialled the number back and no answer. dunno wtf this is.

1. There is a big

Army depot in Tobyhanna, which has that area code. Maybe a wrong number from there?

2. So just who did you Google last week?

:) :toast:

[FreedomAngel82]

3. Interesting

Maybe they were looking for someone who used to live there? Or they got one number wrong? We've had that happen before here.

8. I'm not worried, it just seemed odd she rattled off our number correctly,

we've had it for 12 years. Oh well...

[karlrschneider]

7. Haha...like I could remember!

:-)

13. I think Google protects our privacy. Who did you Yahoo last week?

[Steve A Play]

16. A gentleman never Yahoos and tells.

:) We may on occasion videotape. :toast:

4. I think there are some phone number hyjack scams going on; similar to

email scams. Let me see what I can find.

5. Don't worry about it.

They're just testing the tap they put on your phone. ;-)

6. Bush is looking for you....

[karlrschneider]

9. Well, he'd looking the hard way, I've sent about 100 letters to the monkey

nutball with my return address. :D

10. They're just making sure you're home...

before they send the stormtroopers through your front door. ;)

11. They just downloaded a code patch to your brain

As soon as the setup.exe is complete, you'll be a freeper

[Straight Shooter]

12. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Really? :scared:

[glitch]

18. Lol!

:rofl:

[democrank]

14. What`s the big beef?

"They" are doing this for your own good. Are you with Bush or with the terrorists? Why do you hate freedom?

[Beaverhausen]

15. You might want to get a free credit report

just to be sure.

17. Hubby got a strange phone call at work a few weeks back.

The person said they wanted to talk to me and said they were my doctor - wouldn't tell him why. The only thing was, it was a doctor from downstate at an OB/GYN practice that I have never ever gone to, not affiliated at all with the hospital I (or my docs) go to. I called my doc and asked if they had anything to do with that doc/practice and they said "no". Really wierd since they asked for me by name. We both work the same place, so I was only in the cubby next door.

And no, def. not an HIV type notification thing since I've been with one and only one guy my whole life. ;)

19. Hmmm. I wonder if we can put the government

on the no call list? ;)

20. They were just putting a wiretap in your house

now they can hear you talking on and off the phone
