What Would You Do?!?

Post by abeisgreat »

Well this guy has called my cell phone 3 times saying I called his girlfriend (which obviously I didnt) and the latest time he said he had a friend with a shotgun and if I didnt stop calling something was gonna happen. I've never actually talked to this man. He always left voice mails. But I know his phone number. And the odd thing is I think i always receive his voice mails when my phone is turned off. So what would you do? Ignore it? Report it? Fight it?

Yeah report it. You've just been threatened with violence by a man with a gun. Reason enough.

In addition, ignoring it, even though you haven't met the person or spoken to him, is still risky as he knows your number and can easily trace your address. I would however call him back and just be very calm and honest about the misunderstanding, and that cops are going to get involved if you hear another word.

Fighting it? Well sure, but most people can't fight a shotgun.

Ditto. Get the police involved.

Oh jeez, nevermind. If you're 14, he must be around your age. You can still report it if you want, but when I was your age, I was approached with all sorts of lame-ass threats like that. That's pretty standard. But I can agree that it's amazing how many enemies you can make without knowing them or speaking to them.

Oh right right. Hmm. That is a really weird situation, due to the phone method. So do you think it's just a wrong number?
