    Wise people of AH--I really need your help with this one.

    Ive been receiving nuisance calls from a +971 number(Its a UAE mobile number) for over a month now.
    Somedays its 1-2 calls somedays its a lot more.Tonight it was over 50 calls from the same number in the space of 2 hours.2 weeks ago it was 44 calls from 1.00 am - 7.00 am.
    Ring and hang up,ring and hang up etc for hours on end.

    Kept me awake all night.Couldnt turn the phone off as I needed it for the alarm.

    I probably shouldn't have texted them and said that I hoped ISIS would wipe UAE off the planet but I was exhausted.Probably shouldn't have left voice mails on their phone calling them every name under the sun.But it was only after the 40th call that I responded!!!

    Either way I reckon its either someone randomly got my number or else its someone I know who may be working out there and deciding to have a bit of "fun"<<its not fun when you are kept up all night with a stupid Huawei default ringtone!!!

    So anyway I want to make this ****er suffer.

    I could just block the number with the network provider and or on my phone directly (Ive already done that but still get notifications that it was blocked) but I don't want to do that.

    I want to have a bit of fun. I want revenge on this asshole.

    So will I post the number(s) here and you can all spam them?
    Do I sign up their phone for multiple porn sites (bear in mind its an arab state and he might get into a small bit of trouble for looking at porn)
    Do I sign the number up for **** loads of spam text message from as many sites as I can find?
    Does anyone know the direct dial number for UAE voice mails--I could change their voice message if they've kept their password at the default?
    Put the number on the door of a public toilet looking for some action??
    Maybe set up a few fake profiles on some gay meet up sites and use their number?

    So cmon help me out here.Any other ideas that Ive missed.

    Serious offer here if you lot can help me stop these calls without having to get my network provider involved Ill make a decent donation to a good charity of boards.ie choosing.

    Its all for a good cause ie Hellrazers sanity and sleep and a charity will benefit aswell.

    Turn your phone on silent, the alarm will still sound. Job done.

    Pfft a "Hellraiser" who can't even organise his own nuisance call revenge? You are a sham.

    If possible set your phone to auto answer but then play a ringing tone. Then wait for them to get a large bill.

    Would you not just block the number?

    See that's just too easy.I cant let them win. blocking the number is just too much like giving in and I don't usually give up too easily.

    Youre all very nice in here tonight. I was expecting some really evil sh1t but it looks like the people of AH are mellowing with age.

    Go to settings ---> phone ---> blocked ---> add contact

    Years ago I used to love going on those chatroom things to troll. Someone would ask for my number for phone sex and I would give them the local garda stations number. If chatrooms are still a thing you could give his number to some hornbag

    Put an advert up on Done Deal for free Garth Brooks tickets, list the number and say you're based in Galway/Mayo.

    We so need to make this a game. The first one to find the other in that local and say - oh I dunno - the word "spoon" is the winner :)

    Will be interesting to see which one of us says "spoon" randomly to the most innocent unsuspecting strangers before winning :)

    Id go with the concert ticket idea or maybe the UAE version of daft or done deal. Advertise a swanky apartment for rent or something else desireable....40 virgins or something, I dunno!

    Set a call divert up at night, divert to a 'bored housewives' type line?.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,087 ✭✭✭Duiske


    Put the number in classified ads on Craigslist, E-Bay, and 58.com. You might need help from someone in your local chinese for the last one. "19yr old girl needs place to stay while visiting your country. Short on cash but open-minded and willing to offer favours in return for lodging". That sort of thing. You could even place an ad on the Vatican News website, though maybe change 19yr old girl to something more appropriate, like 12yr old boy.

    Well like maybe cos you are a mod Hellrazer and well that kinda thingy is well how do I say it - somewhat dodgy - maybe even just a little bit not kosher / haram if you follow?

    Something you could consider doing ( as long as you don't mind them being committed for a long time with the usual type of punishment that goes along with the justice system there) would be to report the number to this lot out there. I guarantee you wont have any more problems ... but then they probably won't either - ever.

    Nice looking website? This gives a little bit more information about the al ameen public service division ...

    Do NOT do this. Diverts charge you the cost of the second "leg" of the call. You'd wake to a very very large bill.

    Sounds like a malfunctioning telemarketing autodialer, trying to check if you have a valid phone number, over and over and over.

    Block the number.
