Harasses s_ex workers with prank calls about his p_enis size, about wanting to go to jail. All kinds of stupid comments. A time waster. Calls over and over and over.
GOT A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT, DIDn't ANSWER THEY CALLED STRAIGHT BACK, I ANSWERED. TALKED IN A SLEEPY CREEPY VOICE AND SAID IT WAS CINDY OR INDY OR SOMETHING AND WHEN I SAID I DIDn't KNOW WHO THAT WAS AND THAT I WAS HANGING UP HE SAID "BUT I JUST TOLD YOU WHO I WAS" TURNED MY PHONE OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IN THE MORNING I HAD MISSED ANOTHER 5 CALLS FROM HIM. CREEP.
Calls constantly describing graphic rape scenes he wants to commit.
This is ridiculous. I've contacted the police multiple times about this yet he is still allowed access to a phone to harass people.
Got a call from this number at work, low creepy voice asking if we sell Pipes, explained not a seller and could try and locate a store near him (tobacconist), he said he was from Mansfield - Brisbane, when I said we sell tobacco he said he must've called the wrong number. Had to repeat myself a lot, he didn't sound completely with it at all.
Got lots of calls from this number this afternoon.
They left a message with the word "Hello", I was in a meeting so kept sending to voice mail, and not much interested in replying.
I imagine they have a whole bunch of Optus numbers to call, but Optus should block this guy..
Obviously a repeat prank caller. Multiple missed calls from this number. Texted back asking who it was. No response. Then received more missed calls. A voicemail was left by a male saying "Why do you keep calling me?". Left it at that.
Received three calls. I only answered once hung up on creepy male turned phone off and now blocked number. Early hours of the morning. Always a concern where they find the numbers to call... He needs help for sure.
Same as other callers. Creepy drunk or sleepy voice. Didn't get far past who is this conversation. Rang three times at 3am. Blocked number.
I received a call from this male at 2:13am this morning.
He called himself Matt. He made some inappropriate comments and I terminated the call.
He then tried to call a further 2 times and I did not answer.
I have blocked his number.
Just received 4 calls from this number. I have blocked the caller. A male. Speaking as if mentally ill and calling out 'mum'.
Optus needs to block this number.
This guy is a total fruitloop..... Harassing over 40 calls in 2 hours text messages, photos, police need to do something about this guy.
Got a call from this number this afternoon. Seems a mentally disturbed person. All I heard was 'oooh yaa' sound like a porn movie.
Just hung up the phone. Haven't got another call yet.
Recieved two calls at 1 am this morning, first I answered and said sorry mate but I think you have the wrong number and he was like nooooo I don't. Very creepy and was a sort of drunken sleepy voice. I hung up, when he called back my partner answered and he wouldn't talk to him but he said same thing, that he had the wrong number and that was it. Very creepy voice, sounded like he thought he knew me.
This number called me at 4:30am and must've gotten my name from my voicemail and he said his name was matthew in some creepy sleepy voice. He was saying how we texted before and everything but I don't even have this number saved or anything. He sounded like he was watching me so I hung up and he called me 5 times while I was trying to block his number. After about 5mins I unblocked his number and no calls since.
I received 20 calls this morning at 4.30 one right after the other, it was a guy saying his name was Les & he wanted to talk, when he called the next time my Fiancé aswered it & they wouldn't talk to him so after that I let it ring then this morning I counted the calls!!! There was also a voice message but they didn't deliberately leave it... There was a rusling noise & the guy said to someone "must be sleeping" then a female replied with "oh ok, oh well".
Just got 4 calls from this number like a min after each other, don't know who it is but I am not answering a mobile number that I don't know !!!
Had a phone call from this number at 2am this morning which I didn't answer. They then rang straight back, I answered and all I heard was a male voice saying 'penis, long john, penis.
This Douche bag called me this morning twice, first time muffled sounds. Second time making Monkey noises then when I asked if he'd finished he said "hmmm" every time so I told him not to call this number again. By the looks of it this number is a span number and should be disconnected.
This clown just called me, threatening me to stop calling his girlfriend or he would smash my face with a base ball bat. - fuc#kin idiot. I have no idea who he is.
