Ever since Nathan and I bought new cell phones with Sacramento phone numbers, we have been receiving calls from telemarketers. Welcome back to America! Ugh. We just ignore any phone numbers we don't recognize and delete all voicemails that are left. We finally registered for the Do Not Call list about two weeks ago, but still receive the nasty calls daily. The companies apparently have 30 days to take us off their call list. So... yesterday I received a call from a Florida number, which I ignored. For some reason, though, I decided to listen to the voicemail before deleting it. I guess I was that bored and/or desperate for some human interaction. Those are the only possible explanations for my extreme error in judgment. I wish I could upload it on here so you could hear it for yourself. Creepiest voicemail I've ever received. It was a guy with an Indian accent telling me something about needing to contact him as soon as possible after contacting my attorney. He said this matter was extremely time sensitive, told me his name was Jim Richard (yeah, right!) and rattled off his phone number. And then, I quote: "If you don't return the call or I don't hear from your attorney, the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you." Click. Totally gave me the heebie-jeebies. Nathan even validated the creepiness after I played it for him when he arrived home from work. He never sides with me on such matters.
I think these telemarketers have resorted to some pretty extreme measures. Or maybe my phone number's prior owner was a seriously shady character... Either way, I've learned my lesson. Don't. listen. to. the. voicemails.
