Prank call/Wrong number.


Question Posted Sunday February 16 2014, 8:13 pm

So I was playing guitar and I get a random call from a number I don't know. It's some lady that I've never met, telling me that she's 6 months pregnant and that I left her. She knew my name, but not my last name. She wouldn't tell me who she was either. It would be impossible for me to be involved in that. I have a girlfriend who I've been with for almost a year. I'm a virgin and I barely even leave my house. Last, I don't go out partying and getting drunk etc. So it's either a prank, or a coincidental wrong number with the same name as me. I was also wondering if they might be trying to scam me or use me as some type of scapegoat for something. Has anyone ever had this happen to them?

Does this lady keep calling?
If this was a one time thing then just let it go. It's either a coincidence that this guy has the same name as you or a prank call. But I'm assuming it's a prank call because she wouldn't even tell you her name. If she keeps calling then just block the number.

It's hard to say what is happening. It could be a coincidence, it could be a prank call or it could be a scam. If you still have the number on your phone write it down and put it in a safe place. If it was just a prank call or a wrong number they probably won't call back.

If they do call back it is either a prank call or a scam they are setting you up for. If you live at home and are under age I would advise you tell your parents what is happening and then call the police.

While you may not be able to trace the phone number the police will be able to. From that trace they will be able to identify who called and handle the matter from there. It is unlawful to make prank calls. IF it is a scam or the police believe it is a scam they may ask you help in seeing the scam through to a point they can make an arrest.
