Stalker?

[Shari]

So, strange story.

Scott is at the grocery store in line. He starts shooting the shit with guy behind him. You know, passing the time. He discovers his name is Don and he just got transferred down here to work at Intel, Scott mentions my dad worked there, yadda yadda...So THEN, out of the blue Don asks for his telephone number. Just like that. So Scott gives him his old cellphone number (which is now disconnected since he no longer works there.)

He calls the number RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT.

He says, "It says its disconnected" and Scott goes in this big schpeal about how he forgot that's no longer his number so (and this was so stupid and I have no idea why he did it, aside from the fact that he'd just dial the number to confirm) GIVES HIM OUR HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER.

So tonight (this is 2 days later) he fucking calls our house. It shows as a 203 area code and we don't recognize it but Scott answers anyway. He talks for a few minutes before lying to him about needing to run out the door and he'll call him later.

WTF. I lookup 203 area codes and it shows for Conneticut. I call my dad and ask him if he can get one of his buddies (who still works at Intel) to verify, that infact, this guy does work at Intel. I tell him about Conneticut and he says, "We don't have anything based out of there." I freak. He says that there might be sales offices there.


What the hell. Usually when I meet new or interesting people I usually say, "Hey, we should hang out sometime, let me give you my number." But he just straight up front, no reason why, asks for OUR number.

Scott is at that stupid man-panic mode where he's now got the gun loaded and wants to "get his boys together" to take this guy out for a drink to see wtf is going on. I'm making him wait until I find out about his legit-ness at Intel.

Thoughts?

[AestheticDeath]

Smack your man for giving out numbers to strangers. And don't allow him to do it again.

And change your current number.

Make sure he knows not to give out your address, or naked pictures or anything too! :)

[Bobmuhthol]

Something is missing because those details don't really fit together.

You know the phone number, but instead of looking up who it's registered to you decided to go no further than to determine the state that has that area code?

[Stretch]

Three possibilities.

(1) Don is trying to get you involved in a Ponzi scheme.

(2) He called you from a legacy cell phone number. Heck, I've had the same cell phone number for four years.

(3) He's going to sneak into your house and cut you.

My number provided nothing about me. Then again, as Stretch said, we have legacy numbers now.

[Skeeter]

Haven't you ever seen the Hitcher? Was nice knowing you.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I think you are overreacting, maybe he's just brand new to the area and wants to meet new peeps? Go have a beer with him in a safe, away from home environment and see whats up.

[Flurbins]

WTF. I lookup 203 area codes and it shows for Conneticut.

I have an area code on my phone that's 2 states away. Area codes don't mean anything anymore with cellphones.

[Shari]

I look at it this way.

1. He's scheming.

2. He's new to the area as SHM said and is looking to meet new people.

After this whole thing went down and I posted on here I ask him, "Well, was he hot?"

He says, "Yeah, he was hot, for a guy."
I say, "Oh, well then at least if he breaks in I'll have a good time."

I'm going to hell.

Seriously though. I'll see what my dad has to say tomorrow and maybe we'll hook up at a bar or something where there are lots and LOTS of people.

[Back]

Another thing to think about is where this person, if they are stalking you or your SO, came from. GS? AIM? Locally?

[AestheticDeath]

he's just after your husband

[Artha]

Don's not too far away from Doug.

I guess this explains Wezas' absence.

[Daniel]

IT's not that serious. I have a Tacoma Washington Cell phone number, a London Cell phone Number and a Cairo Phone number. My home of record phone number is in Chicago and I technically live in Washington DC.

The guy is new to the area and wants to meet people. Maybe he's a little bit too forward but that doesn't mean he's a psycho. He called your house ONCE.

[radamanthys]

Invite him to the bar, and have those scary guys at another table with sawed-offs under their coats... just in case.

Naw, he's prolly just way to forward for the typical status quo... some people are creepy-friendly to the point of scariness, and just don't "get it".

[TheEschaton]

I live in Boston and I have a Buffalo area code on my phone.

It's hilarious, because Buffalo is 716, and one of the main Boston one's is 617, so they always think I'm saying it backwards.

I get the same thing where I am. I have a Ft. Lauderdale cell with a 954 area code. In Jacksonville, the area code is 904. They always think I am mixing up the number.

[Skeeter]

isn't this how most redneck love stories begin anyway?

[Drew2]

wtf if he's hot I don't see the problem.

And if he IS after Scott, PM me and I'll give you my # to give to him.

Interesting story.. I'm too tired to respond after my week long uhm business trip to Glendale.

[Drew2]

Interesting story.. I'm too tired to respond after my week long uhm business trip to Glendale.

Scott described the man as "hot, for a guy".

It obviously wasn't you.

[Sean]

I find it kinda hilarious that you were so spooked that you looked up the area code.. bother your dad to ask his friend.. etc. but you couldn't be bothered to goto intel.com and check if they have a location in ConneCticut. I kinda wish you had told him he couldn't work for Intel in Conn because there is no intel in conn and you had your daddy research it... and you were wrong. I get the feeling the expression on your face would be priceless.

Sean is hax.

[CrystalTears]

So tonight (this is 2 days later) he fucking calls our house.
Cool. A stalker that doesn't waste time and calls right away. Oh wait...


It shows as a 203 area code and we don't recognize it but Scott answers anyway. He talks for a few minutes before lying to him about needing to run out the door and he'll call him later. Scott gave him the number, Scott picks up the phone and speaks to him, Scott hangs up after telling the guy a lie. Scott needs to have his lips sewn.


WTF. I lookup 203 area codes and it shows for Conneticut. I call my dad and ask him if he can get one of his buddies (who still works at Intel) to verify, that infact, this guy does work at Intel. I tell him about Conneticut and he says, "We don't have anything based out of there." I freak. He says that there might be sales offices there. Of course, best to assume the guy is a liar when the only "evidence" you have is that he has a CT area code on his cell phone. Lock that fucker up!


Scott is at that stupid man-panic mode where he's now got the gun loaded and wants to "get his boys together" to take this guy out for a drink to see wtf is going on. I'm making him wait until I find out about his legit-ness at Intel.

Thoughts? Scott needs to chill and suck it up since he was the one who divulged the information and the guy called, from what it seems from your story, ONCE.

How is he a stalker again?

[Sean]

Seriously he sounds to me like a guy who recently transfered to a new state and is looking to make some new friends. A little aggressive maybe but I can't find anything over the top in his story. In this day of cell phones it doesn't suprise me that he called right away to make sure he had stored the number correctly. So really he's called Scott once and I'm assuming since you didn't mention it that he didn't give him a hard time getting off the phone when Scott told him he had to go.

If Scott is that paranoid he should have just told the guy that he wasn't comfortable giving out his number to people he just met but if Don wanted to give him his number he'd call him next time he's going out to hang out.

[TheEschaton]

I'll also pipe in to say I've known people to call the number I give them immediately, so as to "give [me] [their] number," but really to check I gave the right number.

I don't consider that not normal any more, even though it's a bit....distrustful? attention seeking?

-TheE-

[The Ponzzz]

Honestly, this guy might just be looking for friends, or just a weirdo. Even if he isn't a stalker, I think you should let your husband go kill him anyways. The people of America really need start an example out of people like this because, "We don't fuck around!" I wouldn't feel too bad though, and remember, the best way to dipose of a body is throwing them in a pig's den. Pig's digest most all human anatomy and finding the body would be close to impossible.

And everyday, someone new scares me.

You saw the movie "Snatch" didn't you?

[Daniel]

I was just gonna say, some people have obviously never seen Snatch (The greatest movie ever).

[Sean of the Thread]

AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

[Souzy]

The guy seems way desperate for friends. My best-friend and roomie, goes to CT every so often for a wk to manage some facility. I heard him say something about one of the offices being Intel. I should ask if it's Intel and if it is ask him if he knows a guy named Don there, that seems a bit psychotic there, haha. And Mike's a true ass at heart, so I'm sure he'd put him on the spot, LOL. Oh and he's going there next wk, hmmmm...

[Sean of the Thread]

OMG LOL..

[The Ponzzz]

Hah, someone got the reference.

[Latrinsorm]

I lookup 203 area codes and it shows for Conneticut.That's my home area code!!
Make sure he knows not to give out ... naked picturesWay to ruin everything. :(

[Kyra]

Some calling cards also give off weird area codes from different states. When my mother calls me from Wisconsin, the caller id tells me the call is from Atlanta, GA & various other locations.

~K.

[Shari]

I find it kinda hilarious that you were so spooked that you looked up the area code.. bother your dad to ask his friend.. etc. but you couldn't be bothered to goto intel.com and check if they have a location in ConneCticut.

First of all, just what the FUCK is your problem?

I have had some really, really "interesting" experiences in the past with people I don't know very well. So I guess I'm paranoid. It never even crossed my mind to check for a site in ConneCticut for Intel because it was simply easier to call my "daddy" and have see if he works for the company. And if I had met the guy in person in the first place I would have flat-out asked him WHY he wanted my number from the get-go.

Yes, I do need to sew Scott's lips together. I am having difficulty finding an acceptable needle. I think he's learned his lesson though.

[Sean of the Thread]

Sean wtf is your problem man.

[Daniel]

bcuz you know...I'm sure your daddy knows everyone that works at Intel.

It's such a small company

[TheEschaton]

When I was a teenager in high school, I was in the Wall Street Club, and invested our whole fake 100 grand in Intel right before the Pentium chip was released. It was amazing. I wish it had been real.

/aside

-TheE-

[ElanthianSiren]

I believe you're overreacting, Shari. I still have a number from Michigan; it doesn't mean much. You should hang out at a public place and decide if he's just feeling nervous. The guy has only called you once and is obviously waiting for Scott to call him back. Stalkers don't operate like that. They're defined by a lack of respect for boundaries in interpersonal relationships.

Didn't he meet Scott, talk to Scott, and call the house asking for Scott? Why would you make the jump in logic that it's you he's stalking?

[Stanley Burrell]

PM me the first three digits of his phone # and I can tell you where he's calling out of.

The best thing to do is any time you see (203) on your call screener, axe the phone pronto.

[Stanley Burrell]

some (most [all]) people from CT are creepy-friendly to the point of scariness, and just don't "get it".

Had this been your original quote, the QFT-value would simply be illegal.

People from CT are overly friendly to the point of no discretion. This is the only state where people will engage *you* with a wave and a sincere smile.

It's fucking scary :no:

[Shari]

I didn't say he was stalking me. I just found it surprising that he point-blank asked for his number, called it right after he gave it to verify the number, and then calls so soon.

You're right. Intel isn't a small company. But the two plants close to this area where I live, my dad happened to work at both. I figure there's a way to search via email of a whos-who at that place.

What warms my heart is how quick everyone is to bring out the claws. I asked a simple question wondering if people thought I was overreacting and its like someone ignited a bomb.

[Back]

Maybe the guy was gay and was hitting on your husband?

[TheEschaton]

We were just saying you overreacted and were stupid. ;)

That's what happens when you post your personal life on a message board. Just saying.

Dont forget to pull the teeth first. Otherwise you might have to go diggin for them.

[The Ponzzz]

Heh!

[Ignot]

I don't think anyone has ever said this before but I think Backlash may be right. The guy is probably just gay for your husband. Imagine being a person in a new city and being gay. Maybe he just wants a friend to help show him around.

Would anyone have a reason to stalk you guys?

I don't think your wrong for reacting the way you are though b/c there are alot of crazies out there and finding Scott in a bathroom with no kidney's would be pretty traumitizing. Hope that helped.

[CrystalTears]

Yep, you're overreacting.

[Tea & Strumpets]

I'm in your house right now.

[CrystalTears]

[Artha]

[Nieninque]

I didn't say he was stalking me.

What's the title of the thread again?

[Shari]

Scroll to the top and read it.

I didn't say he was stalking me. (Does anyone really read what I post?)

I deal with *my* stalkers. Notice how Wezas is gone? :D

And yeah, I do think I overreacted. I'm very cautious about what I tell people out in public. (ie: phone number, address, etc) and it blows my mind that Scott is so open.
