Late last night, well after I had gone to bed, someone called me. This person pretended to be one of my boyfriends and attempted to get me into a sexually intimate conversation. The most worrisome thing is that it appears this person may have been listening into our conversations via some other means, since I am now on a cordless phone. The reason I believe this is that the person managed to mimic my boyfriend's voice and speech pattern well enough to fool me and said several things that are similar to my boyfriend's and my usual conversations. I confirmed today with my actual boyfriend, and he said that he did not call me at that time last night. The last # to dial my phone is a local number, in my area code, not my boyfriend's area code.

This worries me. I have no idea what kind of sick fuck gets his/her rocks off listening to *my* intimate conversations and then calling me and trying to play along. One thing I am sure of, I have no wish on earth to be the target of a stalker. A second thing I am sure of, is that I have the phone # where this call originated from. The third thing I am sure of is that I am writing down everything I remember from last night and I will be keeping a record of any further contacts by this person. The final thing I am sure of is that I am mad, angry, irate at this violation of my privacy, my relationship, and my person and if this fucker calls me back again or tries to continue this I will have no qualms bringing the full force of whatever authority I can bring to bear on him/her for doing this to me.

I hate it when people lie to me. I hate it when people mislead me. I hate it when people try to make a fool of me. There is no more certain way to push all my buttons the absolute wrong way than to do what this fucker just did to me. I almost hope he/she tries it again so I can make it crystal clear to him/her just what a mistake he/she made. You do *NOT* want to tangle with me when I am angry. And I am beyond angry. This person picked the wrong target. Period.

Sympathies. I noticed this post while reading D'Glenn's Friends page. Advice: Buy a digital (often labelled "DSS" for "Digital Spread Spectrum") phone. They're darned cheap these days; maybe a friend has one to give you. I hope everything works out for you.

Thank you. Actually, I've tried to determine if my phone is digital or not. Unfortuantely, the brand (GE) outsourced their customer service and the customer service doesn't have a clue. They say it has a "digital security system" (which I figured out by RTFM before I called, but I digress) but they can't tell me what it does.

Is it marked with a model number? Maybe I can find the info for you. Usually, "digital security system" means that there's a password on the answering machine portion (which might be an option on a different flavor of your phone).

The box says 27998GE6. The manual says 27998C. Either way, you'll likely end up where I did, with the outsourced customer service, because they seem to be the only people available to speak to. Still, I wish you luck.

Yes, it has a password on the answering machine, but the manual also says:

"Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line."

Which is maddeningly vague and leaves open the possiblity of there being more to it than just the password.
