The last time you hung up on a phone caller on purpose

Years ago I kept getting calls from different landlines in another part of the country, all looking for the same woman. One caller in particular wouldn't have it that I wasn't her so I hung up on them and they kept ringing back so I had to block their number. I remember wondering who the hell this woman was and what had she done that all these people were trying to get hold of her. Her name is still stuck in my head all these years later.

Similar to this. Had a woman ring my home three times in a few minutes from the same number looking for such and such a business.

First time.
Me: You must have the wrong number.
Her: Oh, sorry about that. Bye.
Me: No problem, bye.

Second time.
Me laughing: Hi, you’ve just dialled the same wrong number.
Her: Are you sure?
Me: Pretty sure.
She hangs up

Third time
Me slightly annoyed now: You’ve dialled the wrong number again. Can you check online for the right one?
Her: Oh for God’s sake...what kind of a place are you running there at all...
Continues ranting and swearing while I hang up.

Was kind of disappointed she didn’t ring back a fourth time so I could tell her to **** off.

it was a scam but happy to say i didn't buy it.

i parked in a car park to collect the takeaway. when i came out there was a car parked beside me, and girl standing by my car. she proceeds to tell me i scratched her car driving into the spot. I said i did not, not even sure her car was there when i was parked. i was gone less than two minutes. she called security over who said he "saw nothing" but best to exchange phone numbers.

i said no, and drove off. I did nothing wrong.
somehow she got hold of my number (if you knew my name phone number was easy to find but don't know how she found that out) and lo and behold called me the next day to say she was going to send me details of the car damage. i said go ahead, i'll bring it down to the police and hung up.

side note: few months later a colleague was telling a story of parking his car in that very same car park, left it for a few hours and when he came back there was a girl standing by his/her car and she told him he had damaged her car parking. and called the security man over.... same story..... unfortunately he paid her.

probably the oldest trick in the book but it felt good to hang up on her.

oh, i never heard anything ever again from her.
