Hi, I received a strange phone call yesterday while I was work. The caller ID showed the name and number blocked (000-000-0000). Anyway, the message said something close to:
"Hello I am calling for dbratl [except they used my real name]. We saw your posts on the Daily Kos Blog and we would like to have a word with you. Please call us back."
Of course they didn't leave a phone number making that last part difficult. The part that someone id'd me and used directory assistance to call doesn't worry me too much. I mean, what are you going to do? It's not hard to find me. If you spent two minutes right now you could "identify" me. I have no problem with that and would change my user name to my real name if I could keep my UID along with it.
My real question is who was calling? I'm willing to go out on a limb here and bet that its not Kos and Company offering me a starring front page role after 6 years of posting. So that means it's someone else, but who?
Is this like a Nigerian email scam and they are going to offer me fame and fortune in exchange for my bank account numbers and mother's maiden name?
Are they right winger's trying to intimidate me?
The socialist worker's party trying to recruit me for their proletarian army in the making?
A survey? What?
Anyone ever experience anything like this?
Note: Yes I know. People work on their diaries for decades and here I go posting this. I apologize to anyone who feels my posting this denied them their rightful front page time.
