Did I pizz off Kim Jung Un?
I am getting weird calls on both my cell and home (yes, a land-line!) phones.
It is the recording of a woman speaking a language I do not know, but clearly an Asian language. There is also soft piano music in the background. I have tried to order take out but they don't seem to be listening? And no, I am not a consumer of Asian porn or any similar item/service. Any ideas? I can't see the motivation here? Unless it is some sort of broad cast message in unknown language for a different audience? The piano music makes it seem a little sexy. Not sure. |
I received a text message all in Cyrillic. And I have had phone calls of some Asian language. I did not listen long enough to figure out which. I did not care.

The language is Chinese. The voice is telling you something about your visa or residency card and that you need to pay a fee to stay in legal status.
|
uh oh, busted! ;)

Does the middle initial of your name (W)...stand for Worm? :)

Send them some money, QUICK, so they will leave you alone. That's what I would do.

I got one of those calls 10 years ago. I ignored it.

Or, if it would help, you could send the money to me, and I could send it for you.

Explain to them that they are the lucky caller and have won cash "What is your bank account number and any passwords please."

I got one just the other day. The lady said, This call is for (mechanical voice) Jack Crowbobiwicz. (normal voice) we have been trying to contact you before we cancel your...’ I hung up because I don’t have anything that can be cancelled.
|
I get that too, on my cell.
I had a cool one a few months ago that was AI (English), but pretty good at inventive responses with just the right amount of laughs and “um’s”. Took me about a minute to realize it was not a human. |
Its a very common scam. They are preying on Chinese people, telling them they need to pay up for get deported.
|
Your phone number likely got sold. Did you recently apply online for something?
Oddly enough, the same thing happened to me after looking for a lower insurance quote. Started getting all sorts of calls in different languages.. |
"Dennis..Dennis..are you there?" :)
|
"Keet..Keet..are you there?"
