Don’t Get Back To Me

At 2:39am a night ago someone tried to FaceTime me. I looked at the unfamiliar number and went back to sleep. Unfortunately, around 11:32pm last night someone else with an unfamiliar number tried to FaceTime me, and when I ignored it, they called three times in a row. Shortly thereafter, another number tried to FaceTime call me. They are local numbers, but I’m not sure what’s up with these calls. Who FaceTimes people that late?

When that happens I have looked up the number before...sometimes you can find the owner of the number by googling it. But I would definitely block them. That's ridiculous.

@AmbiePam It may be a mistake, or someone calling someone and hit one digit wrong and just keeps doing the redial thing. If it were someone you really knew, they would call you or text you, wouldn't they?

You know it's not me. I don't have an iPhoney and don't call people that late or early. You know how to block the numbers, right? Open the Phone app on you iPhone. ... Tap on the "i" icon next to the caller's name or number. ... Once you tap into the caller's details, scroll down and tap "Block this Caller." Tap "Block this number."

I had blocked people from regular phone calls, but not FaceTime calls. That has been rectified.

@AmbiePam Good! I hope they don't just switch phone numbers and keep calling you.

I'm really not sure who would do this. I definitely don't. I tend not to answer numbers that I don't know or recognize.

During the day, I’ll usually answer an unfamiliar number unless my phone indicates spam. Though, that’s only because I see so many doctors and I’m not familiar with all of their numbers.

It’s good you didn’t pick up. Sometimes it can be spam or scam calls using FaceTime, but the timing does make it feel more intrusive. Has this happened to you before, or is this the first time you’re getting calls like this?

That's so late. If they don't even introduce by chatting. They will be ignored or in a block list

@AmbiePam I know it's too late to be bothering with it, but I'd take the opportunity to have a bit of fun with it. I used to get late night calls from inebriated people who misdialled - my number was similar to a taxi place. They'd order taxis and I used to tell them all the taxis drivers in town were on strike and they'd better just walk. I told one woman that we were weren't accepting passengers who weighed over 10 stone, and that she would need to be willing to get on the driver's scale before getting in. She said that was fine!

I did think about answering it last night with something odd facing the camera. However, I chickened out.

@xFiacre I think I know what to do. Someone sent me a multicolored light up skull scent warmer. It has stayed in the box. I can get that out, and when they call again I can turn off the lights and point the camera at the lit up skull.

@AmbiePam Oh now that would be excellent! I'll have to give some thought as to what would be a sufficiently ridiculous object at which to point the camera.

That does seem a bit late but I wouldn't have answered either. Maybe they dialed you by mistake but these days you just never know,

I've been getting fake political calls and fake medical insurance calls for the last two weeks, but always during the daytime.
