Lines: 20 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 10, Issue 190, Message 2 of 6 More on the phone harrasment thing. We were occasionally getting obscene phone calls at home, from (among others) an adult male with a very juvenile sense of humour. I say we, but the only one who ever received them was my wife. She was upset because they knew her first name. I suggested that they probably didn't know her, but had gotten her name from the phone book where it is listed, either before or after reaching our answering machine, which stated "You have reached the Seaman residence..." Anyway, this idiot left an obscene message on a ** tape recorder ** !! I've saved it in case these continued and the law was called in. ( I still can't believe it!) I since changed the outgoing message, and I haven't received any more calls since 3 months ago. On a tape recorder!
