Wouldn't be able to translate what she says?Sometimes I get voicemails/calls of a woman speaking in mandarin pretty weird stuff
I don't speak mandarin and I don't know anyone that doeshave you tried to translate what she says?
A personal story of mine:Unexplained telephone calls seem to intersect the mundane and paranormal. It seems like everyone has at least one story about a "weird" phone call. A friend of mine would get calls from a guy who spoke in a drawn out creepy voice. All he would say is "I'm the snake killer." over and over. Could've been a prank but it went on for ages.
Personally mine is not too terribly strange. In 2007 I received a phone call at 2:00am. There was nothing but very, very harsh static sounds on the receiving end. It was somewhat like a fax machine but much more abrasive. It really disturbed me at first but I let the call go on trying to discern if it was just some kind of really bad interference. I finally hung up. However, the number called right back within seconds. There used to be many videos on YouTube of calls like these but they seem to gone now.
Have you or anyone you know experienced any strange or paranormal phone calls?
How long has that been going on? That's unsettling as hell.Sometimes get a phone call that is just 3 seconds of silence, followed by a woman's voice that says "Goodbye" and hangs up.
Good lord that is truly terrifying. I'd love to hear more about all that. Might make for a cool thread if you're up for it some time.A personal story of mine:
I've been a computer hacker for the entirety of my formative years. (A programmer by trade and a a hacker out of curiosity) When I was younger, war dialing was a major part of trying to find computers to hack into (Looking for login prompts). I would go through blocks of telephone numbers 1 by 1 until I could find a login prompt as a kid. This particular set of numbers had a Wyoming area code attached to it. Started the dialing process at about 11 at night and hit the hay because I had to be up for school in the morning.
The state of Wyoming at one point at the most Nuclear Ballistic missile sites in the country at the height of the cold war. Well at this time, that was still a thing. I had hit a block of Department of Defense phone numbers that must have been attached to those missile sites because after that night/morning, my house would receive phone calls with nobody else on the other end of the line and would hear the occasional beep (I assume they were recording) And would hear ambient noise in the background like people were actively moving around and doing things. this went on for a month straight at all hours of the day.
Made me paranoid as hell and I stopped war dialing for a while after this.
Every couple of months. Now I've stopped answering calls I don't recognize.How long has that been going on? That's unsettling as hell.
Hard to tell, because he did ask for your credit card number so if it was a scammer I dont see why he would belive you if you had less than 5 bucks if a scammer thinks that you may be lying.Here's a funny story in retrospect-
A couple of years ago, I got a phone call from someone I didn't recognize. The caller wasn't from my area code, so I cautiously answered the phone and expected them to be a robot. To my surprise, it was a human. American-sounding, too. As a result, my scam defenses were lowered.
The guy introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Officer [American-sounding name] and I'm with your local police department. We are currently raising funds for police workers that have been injured during duty, would you like to donate?"
Embarrassingly, I had about $2.50 to my name at the time.
"Uh, yeah I could donate. I don't have a lot though," I replied.
"Great! All you need to do is tell me how much you're going to donate, then give me your credit card information. How much can I put you down for?" He asked.
"Like I said, I don't have a lot, so--" I began.
"$15?" He cut me off.
"I don't have that, sorry." I replied.
"$10." He bargained.
"Sorry, I don't have that much either." I repeated. I felt like absolute shit at this point lol.
"$5." He replied, and I could hear his patience wearing thin.
"I don't have that, but you can put me down for two--" I apologized, but before I could finish my sentence, the man hung up.
Was this a scam? Did I avoid a scam by being so unbelievably broke?
This is a scam! I've gotten this exact call before.Here's a funny story in retrospect-

Really? How did it go down?This is a scam! I've gotten this exact call before.
It was about a year or two ago, got a call from a number outside my area code and I answered just in case it was important, the guy responded with exactly what yours did, "Hello, my name is Officer [American-sounding name] and I'm with your local police department. We are currently raising funds for police workers that have been injured during duty, would you like to donate?" I said no then hung up, because I figured my local police department would be calling from my local area code and also I didn't have money.Really? How did it go down?
Sounds like a scam for old people who don't know any better to me. Nigerian Prince 2.0.Ever since I got a phone I often would receive random calls and SMS of people demanding some debt be paid or else I'll be reported to the banks. Being a minor back then who didn't even know what credit scores were it was an experience being threatened with financial playthings and stuff if I didn't pay 15% interest rates: pretty scary.
Like when not long after i got my first phone i got a call. Dont remeber much but i remeber the audio which was just a broken down ac through the phone. Creeped lil me out, remeber being up till 3am, thinking bout it tho it rly wasnt that scary.Unexplained telephone calls seem to intersect the mundane and paranormal.
