This is getting ridiculous
I don't remember exactly when it started, but it was over 2 years ago. I started getting these phone calls: almost always at night, sometimes late, and always the same - caller ID on my cell would say "ID Unsent," and whoever was on the other line wouldn't respond, whether I spoke in English or Japanese. As if to 'reassure' me that it wasn't a machine, every so often I'd hear breathing on the other end: maybe a few or just a single breath, or a sigh. Naturally I got freaked out and stopped answering the calls when they'd come in, but the caller would keep trying - several calls would come in within a minute. I remember distinctly the record: on my birthday that year, I got about 30 calls in a row from this creep. (Just went to look at my old entries: mentioned it here) I finally talked to my teachers after getting a series of calls while I was at school, and my principal talked to AU and we got them to stop ringing. Later on I got them to also stop showing up on my incoming call list, and thought that was the end of it. Once in a blue moon if I happened to have my phone out on the table or something I could see the 'blocked incoming call' message blink on, but I hadn't gotten that in a good long while - I'd hoped it was over.
Unfortunately, it looks like that isn't the case. Two weeks ago, at about 8pm I got a call: the caller ID said it was from a payphone. Worried and thinking it was one of the JETs in town broken down somewhere or something, I picked it up and answered in English. No response. もしもし？ No response. Then a breath. This sicko is back. Calls came in again last week, then last night - last night there were two bursts: one a little past 8pm, the other a little before 1am.
This is insane! I don't want to turn my phone off at night in case someone really does need me, but I really don't need these calls keeping me up at night! I also don't want to deal with this creep at ALL. But I can't block payphone calls, can I? I have absolutely no clue what I should do about this.
