I didn't know where to put this, so thought I'd start a thread on it.

Around 3 weeks ago when I was out drinking with mates at a pub in town on a Friday night, I got a call from a blocked number. Now, as I was a little drunk, I picked it up and thought it was a mate of mine who had put their number as blocked. However, I started to realise this might not be who I thought, so after asking persistently who it was without getting a clear answer, I hung up and called the mate who I thought it was originally. It wasn't him.

Anyway, the blocked number called again about an hour later, and asked if I was going to another club in town that night, to which I replied that I wasn't. But this was started to get weird, so I continued to ask who it was with no success, and they kept saying I would need to go to the said club to find out. I didn't bother, and just went home thinking it was a mate having a bit of fun trying to piss me off.

But, then it got even weirder, as the same person called through a blocked number at like 9am on the Sunday morning after, and asked what I had got up to Saturday night. I said nothing, asked again who this was, got no answer, so hung up.

It doesn't stop here though, I've had another 2 or 3 calls since then from the same person at the most random times of the day. From mid afternoon, to mid morning like today. As I'm expecting a call about a job atm, and they last called on a blocked number, I naturally pick up calls during a weekday.

For the last 2 or 3 calls, I simply pick up and check if it's the same person, then hang up straight away.

None of the calls have been threatening at all, and it sounds like someone of a similar age to me, but I cannot figure out who it is, and I'm starting to get a little worried with the number of calls I'm getting. They clearly know who I am.

Has anyone had an issue like this before? If so, how did you deal with it?
 
Just ignore it, they can't hurt you over the phone, and if you're expecting a call over a job I definitely wouldn't leave it unanswered

Yeah, but what I'm worried about is if I start ignoring their calls, they'll resort to other measures to contact me. It doesn't seem like a typical 'haha' prank call.
 
So if you are really worried, why you asking a forum? Go to the police. At least if you do end up bashed or killed or what ever they have a starting point. I'd say its more likely someone you dont know, who you gave just enough info to mess with you.

Get super religious and preachy and they will never want to call you again.

NO ONE wants to listen to a rambling preacher over the phone.

I think I may know who is it. A little horsey told me that a certain SonOfReep has been calling up people and pranking them.

Do they say "SonOfReep here from TLC. Just trying to stalk BACCS because I am bored shitless" when they're on the phone to you?
 
Call your service provider and explain the situation, they should be able to provide you with the number that the person is calling off
Do they have the authority to do that these days? From what I've researched, you have to report to police to trace a blocked number.
 
Tell them your fridge isn't running already!
