Obscene phone calls

This morning I got an obscene phone call. They called twice. When I called the number back it's out of service, says something like the caller is unavailable. Is there anything I can do about this?

I would just block the number as I don’t think there is anything else you can do if you can’t tell who called.

Sadly there is a way now to call people and have a fake phone number appear. There is no way to trace the call and not much you can do as far as I'm aware. Block the number and hope they're not insistent because they can just keep changing the number. I just wouldn't answer the phone. Good luck, sorry you're dealing with this.

Same I never answer the phone unless I recognize the number. If they need me they will leave a message.

Ugh. Thank you. I hope it doesn't keep up. I dont normally answer the calls but today is my 40th bday and it was 7 am so I thought maybe it's someone I wanna talk to. I did block the number...

Did you Google the number? Was it the same number both times?

And Happy Birthday!

Before cell phones, we would blow a whistle into the phone. It's really loud and hurts their ears. Always stopped them from calling back.

It was very pornographic and disturbing in nature. The second call my husband got on and was whispering "where are you?" He seems to think it was a recording
Then the number was disconnected

Re: Obscene phone calls

I’m sorry that happened to you. I can kind of relate about how disturbing it can make you feel.

One time while visiting my family the phone rang at 3.30AM. I picked it up because I thought maybe it was an emergency. It wasn’t too pornographic in theory. It was more covert. It was something about being wrapped up like a pretzel or something. I kind of blocked it out of my mind. The the sound of the voice and what he was implying was freaky. Of course, I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night and I just felt like someone was in the house or something.

Happy Birthday Chat Icon Chat Icon eat all the cake!

Right?! My first thought when reading op's post was "people still do that??" Idk why I just assumed in the internet age perverts just gave up on calling people.

It's nonstop with the car warranty calls lol I stopped answering any number I don't know and block every incoming number. Bless their relentless persistence though to keep trying even though no one ever answers. We should all have that kind of drive and work ethic Chat Icon
