Goodbye (phone calls)

I've been getting telephone calls for a while now from a silent caller who pauses for a while then says 'Goodbye' beginning to find them spooky....anyone else getting themselves?

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

I get a mad man ringing every other Friday, without fail.

He has the most spooky voice with a bad stutter.


T.......T........Terry.......w w when can I. I. I. Pick upppppp my wwwwwwwages?

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

I've had them and got the impression it was a call centre. They automatically phone a few numbers but only talk to one, the others get a short pause and then a 'goodbye'. Could this be what you are getting ?

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

Yes Alan those are the ones....came home yesterday and the answer machine was blinking.....guess who?....'goodbye'

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

As Alan says some of these calls are automated.
I pick up the receiver these days and don't speak until a real person speaks to me so that any random automated calls don't log me as a 'live' number and add me to a list to call back later .

Thats what I do too Meg ...I never say hello straightaway,if its my family they know what im like lol....

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

The caller is trying to drive you mad. Someone with a grudge?

I have a steadfast rule. I answer with my first name. If there is no response within 3 seconds I hang it up.

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

Who would have a grudge against a sweet delicate flower like me? I don't speak at all until the other party does.....and yesterday I wasn't in when the answer phone picked up.

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

... then you've waited too long.

Re: Goodbye (phone calls)

I have had a few of those goodbye phone calls in the past year...
But none recently,they are very spooky though...
