prank calls..... :(

1.26 am 07052013... Prank call turnabout 

Prank call?? What is it?? Come on... don’t say that you don’t know... it is a called made by unknown number to your phone with the following reasons (maybe):

1.   Wanted to befriend you

2.   Wanted to let you borrow some money (along)

3.   Wanted to trick you using some banking scheme (winning some contest)

4.   Or just merely numbers of your crush that you got somewhere and you accidentally called due to some unbearable crush ;-)

Well everyone must have experience such calls, and it makes you reluctant to pick up your phone when an unknown number pop up on your screen. The case is the same with me. Whenever an unknown number pop up, I will pass the phone to my brothers to answer it. These people will eventually ask you the following question:

1.   Who is this??

2.   Where do you live?

3.   Are you _______ (named of some random person)

4.   Can he/she talked to __________(named of some random long lost never ever known cousin)of yours?

5.   Do you have a boyfriend or not? N more...

Hrmm.. None of this really matter.. I’m sure all of us know how to deal with such problems. But, what if, the call that you receive from an unknown number was actually not what you think it is?? Well this rare but true case had happened to me...

On 07052013, at 1.26am, I got this call from an unknown guy. He keep insisting on wanting to know my name and where I’m leaving, and stuff. So as usual, I would ask him his question back. He also insisted on not telling, without further ado, I tell him to call me back, since I’m sleepy... then, the mystery started... jeng jeng jeng...

That guy said that his dad had passed away, and he found my number inside his dad’s phone with only my address (to be precise , my village name). Realizing that it is not just a mere prank call, I give the phone to my mom. Then, the mystery resolved.

Moral of the story is that, whenever an unknown number pop up on your screen, please pick it up. Even though it might turn out to be some corny act of some lunatics, we might never know if it is an emergency called or it is from someone that we know.
