It's about 1:45 a.m. here. Somebody just called and woke me up. I did the *69 thing and got they're number. I called them, but no one picked up. I went back to bed. I woke up to another call. *69 again, same person. Then they called again. This time I picked up the phone, but they had hung up by the time I said "hello".

Can I report them to the police or something? (I have their name, it was on their voicemail)

I get so many telemarketing calls that I no longer answer my phone - I let my answering machine take all calls.

You could do this and turn the ringer off your phone - they'd get bored fairly quickly if you ignore them.

That's a good idea. But it definitely wasn't a telemarker. I think it was someone's cell phone.
Well, they stopped calling, so I'm going back to bed.

It's kinda funny that you decided to consult with macnn before you decided to go back to sleep.

Ditto. But some of them are so obviously fake. Like the one you posted. I have a hard time believing that Mom is going to actually type out "OH JESUS!!!!" instead of immediately disconnecting.

That might not have been his mom though... just someone joking around. Still a fun conversation though..
