I'm pretty confused and seeing as it is three in the morning the only other person online I know that I explained this situation to is also confused.
Basically what happened is I get an IM from someone I had never talked to before. Here's a transcript of the conversation, with my screenname and his replaced.
Keep in mind that I live in Charlotte, NC, and this call (according to a reverse lookup) was made from Newport beach CA.
I called the number, just maybe thinking it was a friend of mine who had moved out to California. His name was Mike and we were in high school together, we hadn't talked since 2004 so I thought maybe he found an e-mail I had sent him with my AIM name in it or something like that. Basically I was giving this the benefit of the doubt that it may be a legit person wanting to talk to me. But why ask me to make a ****ing long distance phone call.
So I get a 2nd opinion on whether or not I should call and my buddy Jon says go for it. So I do.
What happens next is mind boggling. It says, please stay on the line as your party is being reached. Then it starts playing "Who let the dogs out". I hung up.
I get called back and my phone says private number. I answer it, and its some kid who is just very at ease and is talking to me like I know him.
"Whats up man"
Uhhh hey who is this?
"Huh? Dude are you serious you dont know who this is? come on dude...."
No.. refresh my memory? This is a California number, right?
"haha no man"
Yes it is, I looked it up.
"uhhh"
*click*
What the ****?
Anyone know what the **** just happened? Is it some idiot trying to get me to call and "wait while my party is reached" and listen to who let the dogs out or the thong song and get a huge phone bill? Or someone in CA just get my AIM s/n somehow and just decide to **** around?
I'm very, very confused.
