Odd phone calls

[redbird]

Someone called last night, I said hello, she asked for cattitude (by his usual nickname, not full name or "Mr. $his_last_name"). He talked for a bit, then hung up, and said she had claimed to be "the woman of your life." She called back twice more, in quick succession: either we've got a very odd prank caller, or someone gave Cattitude's name and phone number to someone he had a quick fling with. In a taxi.

The fourth time the phone rang, I answered, immediately said "Please send a large pepperoni pizza," and hung up. It didn't ring again. Thank you, Bill Watterson.

The mind boggles.

Wasn't that the plot of a Bill Murray movie?

How... odd.

Erm, perhaps a stupid question, but can telephone numbers be 'construed'/found/whatever when someone has ones ip address?

That would require someone to have a static IP address associated with their domain name and have that phone number be listed as the contact number for said domain. Then, cattitude would have had to have used his nickname when registering the domain.

Not usually. IP address can help someone find a person's name, and from there phone numbers are often easy. And if the IP address points to a small organization, there may well be an organizational phone number. But it's not as simple as "Oh, you're at 127.0.0.1, your phone number is 212-555-1212."

But did the pizza ever show up?

I never do this. But I'm commenting solely to tell you that I'm completely in love with your icon.

It was one of a bunch offered free for use by commodorified. If you want it, just give credit (as I have).
