That is certainly creepy. Usually scams still leave messages like 'this is so-and-so and you've won/owe, call back at this number!'. Odd.

Not spooky, but I got a new number a couple months ago and nearly everyday strange numbers call and leave voicemails. Nothing intimidating, but normal things like 'Your lifetouch photos are ready to be picked up' and 'Your child John has missed several classes today'. I've had to call back a lot of numbers to inform them I am not Regina, and I will not be bringing brownies to the bake sale. Although one woman I called back actually argued with me about who I was, she just kept getting madder while insisting I was Regina. I had the bar fall down that jammed my sliding door today. I tried to call my maintenance man, but he doesn't live on site and there is an answering service that fills the position for the landlady on the weekends. I had to call the answering service, but they said, "YOU HAVE TO CALL A LOCKSMITH!" or "Why didn't you say you were locked out?  If we send a maintenance man to unlock your door, it'll cost you a twenty-five dollar fee."

I had to jam some sticks to get the bar up and at one time jam my hand to get the lock up, always fearful that the door would break. I did have some people help me get me in. Well, that sucks. That's like the $80 fee I got for a bullet hole in the window that was there before I moved in and after calling for a replacement it took five years to do. Not to mention they charged me for it. That and they won't fix the front door which locks shut in fall and winter. The spring and summer I have to ram it with my shoulder to shut.
