I may be late to the party, but on a practical note:
I never, ever answer calls from my cell phone or land line if I don’t recognize the number, or the name on Caller ID. If it’s that important, they can leave a message.
And as far as meeting strangers ~ and it wasn’t my idea first ~ well that’s a NO. There’s a place for that: Match.com.
Life is hard enough. Don’t make it harder with rogue elements. So consider this a Lesson Learned!
Hey, you could go to the police and say that this is a number of a catfish/scammer. They are starting to catch up with the technology and take these things more seriously. Performing a Sting operation could be viewed as a public service. The girl was really a guy who could be part of a gang of guys! You never know! Protect the community by having a detective trace the number and have a little “talk” with this guy.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
