Rude people.....

I still have that problem. Its one reason to be glad for this crappy dial up stuff. No phone calls... lol..

Yes I agree with you. It was so rude. I had a similar experience but I was the caller. I called a particular client who needed to go to the bank for some important reasons. She mistook me as a collector of some appliance center where she bought her machine. She was also calling me names and I had to wait for her to calm down because as part of the job I cant put down the phone. She hung up but I called her again this time I had to be the first to speak and told her I was from the bank not from the appliance center. She was pretty embarrassed because of that but she did apologize.

In my case, I don't entertain any callers or texters through my cellphone who will not identify themselves. I have received a series of nasty messages from one girl I don't know and I just ignore it until she gets tired realizing that she could not get any reply from me.

Nothing like this has happened to us. That is extremely rude!! I have gotten many calles on my cell for other people, but I just tell them they have the wrong number and they believe me. My husband keeps getting messages on his cell from someone in England (we are in the US). The guy calls about once a week and leave a very nice message for someone else. It's quite funny~I wonder if the guy from England wonders why the person never returns his calls!

u use prepaid or postpaid? this normally only happen to prepaid services. i suggest u to change a new number. no other way because there are so many stupid people.

Yep. I've even had similar experiences on a land line... from a doctor's office! They were calling to confirm an appointment with some lady I'd never heard of. I told them to remove my phone number from her file, that it was incorrect. We went through that routine over 20 times in a 3 month period. They always said they'd made a note of it, and I kept getting messages about a stranger's medical conditions. Ugh! After being corrected so many times, shouldn't have have counted as harrassment?

Yes, and it so frustrating! No matter what you tell the person on the other end of the line, they insist that the number belongs to someone other than you. So one easy solution is to take a message and tell them if you happen to hear from the person they are caling for that you will pass the message on. As for the abuse, report them to the phone company. Good luck!

Yes, that has happened to me before a couple of times. I have Nextel, therefore with the two-ways feature anyone can get your id number by simple typo that is. I was chirped and the female thought she had her boyrfriend two-ways number, but accidently typed it in wrong. I actually got snippy back with her. Later on believe it or not, she chirped me back to apoligize... I didn't because she shouldn't of been rude from the jump...

I have reveived some calls from strangers and they made a mistake,one of them was rude to me.A woman,I told her I wasn't the person that she looked for,then she started to shout,I felt so bad that why I am shouted by her,why not the women check the phone number again,then I turn off my cellphone.

Yes, unfortunately it has happened to me too. My phone number is either very similar to or was the old phone number of a bail bondsman (someone who bails people out of jail). I can't tell you how many phone calls I have received asking for this guy. And these people think I'm lying to them! I just can't believe it. Anways, I hope you have better luck!

maybe she asked from someone the number of the guy he was looking, but pressed the wrong buttons/keys. i have experienced a lot of it. they'll ask if you are the person they are looking for, if it turn out they're wrong, then they'll ask you if its ok to be friends with them. i pity them so much coz they're so desperate to have friends and they'll spend time and efforts just for a nonsense. if that happens to you again, tell him/her you're going to trace the number and report him/her. It's effective.. :)

I used to get texts from people for some girl named 'Ashley' on my phone when I first got it. Most of them have tapered off, but a few weeks ago I got a text from someone who was obviously looking for her but wouldn't out and out tell me he was. My landline was worse though. I used to get regular phone calls from China at odd hours of the morning, and since I can't speak a word of Cantonese OR Mandarin, I had no way to tell them they had the wrong number. Obviously me hanging up on them, and speaking in English didn't clue them in!

I had a similar experience a few days ago on my home phone. My roommate has a fictitious name she uses when she wants to joint a mailing list, but does not want to give out her correct information. Somehow, one of them got our home number, which is in my name and she did not include on any of the information. The telemarketer on the other end insisted that I was, in fact, Darinda (the fictitious name), and that it was very rude to lie about who I was. I informed them to check the listing for the number they called, and they would see that my name was in fact ______ and that there was no one at my residence by that name. They got very flustered by this, and apologized profusely. Then I was about to hang up, and the telemarketer said "thank you Darinda, have a nice day." The only thing I could think was, "How rude. This person called me and they are sitting here harassing me about who I say I am." The bottom line is that people are stubborn and once they get an idea in their head, it will not get out. Another example is that my voice mail on my home phone clearly states my name, and it is not Irene. The other day I had a message on my home phone that said "Hi Aunt Irene....." Later that day, i got another call from the woman looking for Aunt Irene asking why I had not called her back, that she was concerned. I informed her that she had the wrong number, and she went into a ten minute litany about how she knows "darn" well that she dialed the number correctly. I told her to have a nice day and hung up. She has not called again since. Go figure, huh?

i got call for woman one time and i try to explain it is new number but he no listen to me. then i got tired of explainin and told him she was now my girl and he needed to stop calling. he was mad but stop calling. i know it mean but it stopped my agrevation.

It's too bad that cell phones don't have a way to block the number. After all, she's using your minutes. I hope the problem is resolved now.

I think this person is clearly winding you up.You have already told her it is the wronge number and yet she continues to call.Try to get the number barred and dont give her any more of your time.Yes Ive had crank calls before I give them no information and hang up.

i have had friends that have had this problem. i never have gotten that one, but i get those darned telemarketers and people asking me to tkae surveys and asking me to donate money all the time. Those really anger me.

This has happened to me a couple of times, some were so persistant that they had called the right number, they started to get rude, I just politely told them to check again and then hung up on them. Now I always check the caller Id before I answer the phone.

wow how rude. You should have called her back and keep calling her to agervate her. People these days.

ahh this happend to me last night on my landline, i was sitting here listening to some music and my phone rang so i answered and some lady who sounded about 60 was asking for some john black guy, i told her no sorry there is nobody here of that name then she called up saying "ohh im sorry for that call but my john black is my brother and he said he was going to your house" and i was just like umm what the hell is going on here ? and she said "haha idiot" and hung up
