Questionable contact
Dec 3^rd, 2012 at 4:55pm

Just spent over 30 minutes on my home telephone number from a guy named David . He says he lives in Israel but originally from the US. Claims to have CH.
Questions??? How did this man get my home telephone number? I directed him to CH.com website and walked him though the various places on CH.com. He was able to open the message board to read but not sure if he is logged in as a member in order to post

He seems like a nice guy, but he called me on my personal house land line, did not e-mail me thru Ch.com, or through OUCH.

His name is David - the e-mail addy he gave me was rapdaddy.com@gmail.com.

I do not know who this man is but he has found my home telephone number. I am not at all comfortable with this. I am more than happy to give out my home number to those I want to share it with, but am leery when I receive a call from someone I don't know/. I directed this guy to CH.com to answer his questions. Again question, How did this man get my home telephone number?

Deej, or anyone else, please explain

Lean on me, when you're not strong, cause we all need somebody to lean on.

If you've posted your last name anywhere on this site, or the OUCH site, it wouldn't be difficult for someone to find your phone number. There are other ways a person could obtain your phone number, but if you provide enough clues, it's not that difficult.

Sandy,

Obviously this David has gone to quite a bit of length to look for you and acquire your number. He should have never called you, and you should have hung up the moment you did not figure out who he was.

Keep his number on your phone, and let someone else know of this issue, if he calls again on any phone or email simply don't respond.

boy i cant wait till it's my turn to give him a headache. paybacks a bitch

From there, just call until somebody recognizes cluster headaches. If you do get a call again, either ignore or let the guy know you'd rather communicate via email/etc.

Google would be my guess?

he probably just typed your name into a people searching website, like spokeo(most commonly used). you would be surprised at how easy it is to get personal information these days.

all he would need is a first and last name and the state you live in. it would take about as much time as it took me to write this.

the internet makes things like this easy.

to remove your personal information from spokeo... :Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to
