Creepy Phone Call In The Middle of the Night

Message or warning? Grow up.

Cracks me up that people are so breezily saying "It was a wrong number, no big deal!" So, in your life, it would be normal for an elderly person to call you to say "Lock...the deadbolt?"

Yes. Granny is calling her adult-aged daughter to remind her to lock the doors because it's a windy night.

I think it was a wrong number and the elderly lady probably has Alzheimers or something of that nature.

The person was probably leaving a message for herself and misdialed the number to her house/cell phone.

Op, my house phone called someone once.

Caller ID showed my number. Problem was that I was sitting in that person's house at the time. Nobody was at my house.

Weird things happen.

I'd make sure my doors were locked, delete the voicemail, and never think of it again. You have way too much free time if you're obsessed with this to the point of considering calling the woman.

I suspect my mom made a number of odd phone calls to wrong numbers with her cell phone while in the hospital. She had an infection and later a medicine change that resulted in some off the wall calls. The "I've called you 7 times already about this!" had me wondering who all she called, as it was her first call of the day. Plus, "Did you get my message about (insert something really crazy)?"

The phone number was spoofed.

Who knows what the actual phone number was.
And who leaves voicemails anymore (besides my MiL; people over 65)?

That number was spoofed I bet. Happens all the time so you can't trace the actual call and you're duped into answering the phone bc you think it's a local number/someone you know.

Agreed. Sounds like some modern day prank calling. It makes sense, considering the time the call was made. Probably some 13yo kids who learned how to spoof numbers and wanted to spook people.

The podcast Reply All has an episode (#104) about these types of calls.

I will do that. I kind of want to call her back to make sure it was a wrong dial and not a warning.

Did you do it? What happened?
