I just got the weirdest phone call! UPDATE!!!!!! AND MORE!!!!!!
Original post by Mici n KC
So I'm sitting at my desk working and making calls like I'm supposed to when a call is coming in so I pick it up. This woman says her name and says she's been trying to find my mother for a long time. She said if this is the person she's looking for, she worked in a bank with her mom and gave my mom's description. My mom worked in a bank 40 years ago!!!!!! She then proceeds to tell me she emailed my AOL account with this info, but since she got me on the phone to just disregard it. I asked her why she needs to reach my mom and she said to catch up. So I log-in to my email and sure enough this woman emailed me. I can understand how she was able to track me down on my office phone, but how in the world did she get my email address? She was so specific when she said it too! So I call my mom and tell her and she says this woman has been trying to reach her for 2 days and she has no clue who she is or why she wants to 'catch up'. My mom is really creeped out about it, especially since the woman said my grandfather's name!
I emailed the woman back asking her what is the urgency and how does she know so much info. I know people can find info on the internet, but my personal email address and my home number that is not listed? CREEPY!
UPDATE****************** So I told 2 of my colleagues what is going on and they immediately thought scam and then we were talking about it more and one of them said google her phone number so I did. She is a private investigator that deals with reuniting people!!!!!!!
I called my mom to tell her what I found and my mom said she doesn't want to be found by anyone...there is no one that needs to find her. I told her to check with my aunt to see if they have tried contacting her.
I cannot work now. I want to know what's going on!!!!!
UPDATE 2*************** So I've been talking to this woman pretty much all afternoon because 1) my curiosity got the better of me and 2) I dont like knowing that she got all this info so easily and wanted to know why this was so important to her. Since I'm not my mother, she could not divulge much information other than who the person is that they are looking for. There are a lot of similarities between who the person they are trying to find and my mom, but it's definitely not her. The woman told me a few things specifically that is not my mom. I hope whoever is looking for this person finds her soon!

Maybe a distant relative has died and left her a fortune!
Now that would be great!

Something like this happened over the summer to me and my family. A woman called my apt. looking to speak with me... she sounded frantic and she had all of this information about my family, specificlly my dad's side. I eventually hung up with her and she then called my mom and had all this information about my gradfather (who had died the previous year)... we have NO CLUE why she was calling or how she got all of this information.... it was super strange and I was VERY creeped out.
Yikes to you and your mom!
I KNEW I remembered hearing about this from someone!!!!!!!!!!
Yep! That was me... I can't remember the details but we were very freaked out.
i got mail like this last year also.. i don't remember what it was about.. it wasn't cars though.. but there was a little sticky note attached with myname on it saying hey, i thought u'd be interested in this and signed by an initial..it must be a new telemarketing technique.. but it's freaky..
mici, they could hve gotten a lot of u'r info and u'r moms off of zabasearch.. that site has way too muc personal information on there.

Someone with her same name. Her maiden name is very common, especially in a place like NYC! The lady also said my grandfather's name, but his name in Scottland is like John Smith in the US!

It was actually kind of scary. I mean knowing I could have a relative out there that I've never known is scary. The lady was doing her job. She has info from her client that wants to find this woman. There wasn't information on me other than what's on the internet. I hope this person finds whoever they are looking for!

Re: I just got the weirdest phone call! UPDATE!!!!!! AND MORE!!!!!!
along the same lines....
when I was in college, one day some guy walked into the dorm and asked someone which room was the RA's (me). I heard his happening in the hall way and did not answer my door, he slipped his card under my door. He worked for the FBI! So stupidly I did call the number on his card and he was looking for info on a student that had attended my school like 5 years before, and apprently he found out which dorm the guy had lived in and assumed that the RA might still be the same (obviously this FBI guy didn't go away to school or he would have known the usually RAs get moved every year). I told him I did not have any information to give him. He called me several times after that asking for more info! After a few days I went to PUblic Safety and filed a report. The guy was a legit FBI agent, but he violated all kinds of regulations by looking for information any place other than the admissions office.
Scary!

this is officially the creepiest thread i've ever read....i hope that this woman was mistaking and NOT looking for your mom. I would call the police and file a report just incase. Make sure you print out the email and hopefully you wrote down her #.
