I may have received... some kind of death threat?!

Nov 11, 2021 23:10

Missed a phone call this morning, It appeared to have originated from a London landline number, but that means nothing as they sell such things to businesses who aren't even in the country these days. B took the dead air/checked number, but expected it was another of the sales calls we have had a rash of.

There was another call this afternoon, which rang off again by the time C and I had located the handset. Seemed to be the same number, so I wondered if it was, say, one of our friends who still lives there, and hit the redial option. After a couple of strangled rings a recording of a perky sounding male USAsian started. There was no greeting, personal or business name. Instead I received the following message:

"Hi! Dial '1' to delete yourself, '2' to speak to our executive."

Now, I know not to dial anything, but...

Delete myself? Not 'remove [my] details from their dialling list', but to delete myself!?!?!?

Should I be worried?
