Title: Received a strange phonecall today.... Post by: Bitcoin Oz on July 23, 2012, 08:24:20 AM My home phone is a silent number and I dont give it out anywhere online. Today I received a call on it and they mentioned "bitcoins" and then hung up. This is quite bizarre and unusual.
The question is should I be concerned about it ? Has anyone else received strange phone calls to numbers that shouldn't receive them ? Title: Re: Received a strange phonecall today.... Post by: Jutarul on July 23, 2012, 08:29:08 AM Is your phone number in the whois database for bitcoin.me?
Title: Re: Received a strange phonecall today.... Post by: Bitcoin Oz on July 23, 2012, 08:33:24 AM Is your phone number in the whois database for bitcoin.me? I use my mobile number for that. Not my unlisted home number. Title: Re: Received a strange phonecall today.... Post by: unclemantis on July 23, 2012, 08:35:53 AM the one ending in 99 is your cell?

"bitcoin" is heard in a gasping voice. Panic ensues. You post a message on a forum. Strange people make even stranger comments. Soon everyone from that forum starts making random phone calls just to say "bitcoin." It becomes viral....

Has anyone else received strange phone calls to numbers that shouldn't receive them ? Last year for several weeks after the runup there was a string of some very weird contact I had received, including PMs on IRC and a couple on the forum that were definitely trolling. The one that had me baffled though went back and forth through e-mail about five times before I finally figured out it was not due to either trolling or anger but instead the result of a horrible job done by Google Translate. As far as methods used though, my contact info is easily googled. Title: Re: Received a strange phonecall today....

Did they just say "Bitcoins!" then put the phone down or did they at least attempt a conversation?? ;DTitle: Re: Received a strange phonecall today....

Title: Re: Received a strange phonecall today.... Post by: Taz on July 24, 2012, 10:32:14 PM Call as many numbers as possible saying,
"They know about Bitcoin, flee immediately!" Then hang-up. If we all call enough numbers, it will strike a chord with someone. It worked for Arthur Conan Doyle.
