So we had an annoymous caller and when I picked up and said my name he said he was looking for (insert name). That was my name. He also had a non Dutch accent. I did not trust it at all so I said he called the wrong number and then hung up.

You guys ever have annoymous calls? How do you deal with those?

not a call, but i used to keep getting texts from a French dude asking for a Denise or something. i forget the name.
I'd keep texting him back and saying that he has the wrong number. he'd apologize, and then maybe months later he'd text me again.

I hadn't heard from him in over a year and forgot about him altogether, but then maybe just a little while ago i got another text from the same guy, speaking French at me and asking for Denise.

Well, let's see... Spam calls, but quite a few texts from people I don't know. One was from someone wanting church repairs who kept sending me photos despite me telling them wrong number. Then this one guy kept calling me, texted me asking for the guy to pick up(despite my voice mail clearly saying my name) and insisted on calling after texting them wrong number. Had to block him in the end.

Back in the days we would be called by people who wanted to change their tires. We have a car repair shop in our city who has a phone number that's 1 digit off.

No weird calls, but I received several texts in Polish before.

Luckily, I worked with a few Polish people who spoke Dutch. They translated the texts for me and sent a message back, saying they had the wrong number.

@vengeance: I’ve heard when they do stuff like that they are waiting for you to say “Yes” so they can use that in other scam forms. Identity stuff and whatnot. I am trying to train myself to NOT say yes whenever someone calls and asks for me.

So the same number now called me on my mobile. How the hell did he get my number.

For about a year I kept getting calls for an Emile from collection agencies, companies that she owed money to, etc. I even got calls and texts from people that were looking for dates because she still had MY number listed on a dating website. I ended up finding her profile and the website deleted her entire profile when I emailed them to say that she had my number listed. It hasn't happened for a while but I use to get calls meant for her once a week at least. I had to demand multiple times to have my number removed from a collections agencies list and I had people act like they were suspicious of me either being her or knowing her lol.
