Paranoia...

Its weird...I get home and i walk through the door. First thing Mum asks me is whether some guy had called my mobile or not?

O_O

No, noone has called me. But i check my personal mobile and there was a missed call and an empty voice message at 11:10:59AM. Checked my work mobile and it was clear.

I asked her what was this guy's name? She said she cant remember...

I asked what did he say, she said he didnt say anything, just that he was calling from work.

You see, the thing that freaks me out is the fact that no one at work knows my home phone number. Only person who does is my boss, and he would never contact me at home unless he has left a zillion messages on my work mobile and i havent responded in a couple of hours and he actually feared for my life.

But the call to my house was at about 17:10-17:15PM. Whoever called from work would have known better, if they were in fact someone from work. And it doesnt explain how they got my home number. I work at my clients site where most of the employees think that im one of them. Noone would think to actually get my number off my boss. And even if they managed to ask him, he wouldnt give it out to anyone; im sure of it!

No number appeared on the missed call on my personal mobile. It was "unknown" and it shits me that the message they had left on my voicemail was just of some background noise.

What is freaking me out even more is that someone had given my mobile number as their "mother's" contact when they got arrested for a breaking and entering. A supposed policeman had called my mobile in search of the culprit's mother. This was about a 3-4 weeks ago. It was a Wednesday afternoon, im not sure about the date...possibly the 14 June, when i got this call.

He had asked me confirmation of my mobile number. He told me that the culprit was arrested and gave this number as contact for his mother. He asked if i was from a nearing suburb. I told him that i was near that suburb, but i didnt know of any woman by that name. I told him that i was sorry that i couldnt help. He advised me that he will update the "database" so that no one else will bother me.

In hindsight, i should have written down his name and badge number, and asked him from which police station he was from. As far as i know now, the person who called could have been an imposter, posing as a police officer.

But the truth of the matter is, i didnt feel as though i had given him any personal details about myself. I didnt feel as though i was under any threat.

Now with this weird phone call last night, i am beginning to worry. I'm worried that there is a connection. I'm worried that someone is trying to hurt me. Why would someone call and say they are from work, when its obvious to me that noone at work would do that!!!

The more important question is what do they want from me???

I have this problem, well not really problem, but if i dont listen to my gut feelings, the worst of what my gut is telling me seems to happen to me. So, i'm listening to my gut but i dont know what to do, short of going on a witch hunt!

If someone is fishing for details about me, they potentially now know my personal mobile number, home number and address. I'm worried that someone is trying to get my details to commit something fraudulent.

I know this sounds like im going crazy, but its hard not to worry about this when a woman at work is having problems with her "identity" (being assumed by another) and the bank.
