The Communication Cube

My Nintendo GameCube collection photo-shoot is taking ages to complete. Anyway, here are a couple of photos of my memory cards.

Hmm... Some random called my demanding his money back. I had two problems with that call. 1. I don't know who he is (and I didn't really find anyone on the name he used). 2. I don't remember borrowing money from anybody.


What I find disturbing is the use of "...or else there will be trouble" and the fact that he knew my full name. Mildly discomforting, so say the least.

 

[Nintendo]

How much was the amount, mate?

 

[slaeshjag]

He didn't say, pretty much everything I asked was answered with that I know it myself, stop playing stupid.

 

[Nintendo]

Just ignore this person until death threats are made and then if report to the police.

 

[slaeshjag]

I'll remember to record it next time. If he just would stop calling with hidden number P:

 

[Nintendo]

Yeah, good idea. Chuck it on mp3 and give us a listen too if you can.

 

[slaeshjag]

It's all in Swedish, so I doubt many of you would understand anything

 

[Prometheus]

Could it be some sort of telephone-based scam, run using information leaked or stolen from companies you've dealt with, perhaps?

 

[slaeshjag]

Considering he isn't mentioning any details like amount or how to transfer it all, I'm pretty sure he just confused me with somebody else, someone pointed at me or somebody from my old school wants be a an idiot by making these kinds of calls for fun.

The f word was used, so that's something at least.


Besides, we can get Rupert Murdoch's phone hackers to decifer everything for us.

 

[slaeshjag]

Well, he called again now. It With a more clear mind; it did sound like a non-threat on the voice. No cussing, and he did sound kind of desperate. He also mentioned he "bough" the loan from a friend, and he did mention a name that does sound kind of familiar (I think it as an old classmate.) Although I hung up when I asked what kind of money we where talking about, and I still don't remember borrowing anything (and, if I know myself right, I never borrowed anything.) I dunno if he sounded like a scared kid because he realized I recorded the conversation (my phone seems to make regular beeps when it does) or if I might've sounded a lill' stern on my boice, but at least he didn't threaten to break my legs or anything lol.

 

[Jourdy288]

Hmm, that is strange...


Probably just some kid.

 

[Blue Protoman]

Next time he calls, sing Shirley Bassey's "Moonraker" as loudly as you can, see if it scares him off.

 

[Nintendo]

Got that .mp3 or .wav file for us?

Use Zamzar or Mediaconverter to download this;

It's a good song, but who wouldn't be weirded out by expecting slaeshjag to pee himself, but getting Moonraker instead? Depending on the mood you're in, you may also wish to use Duran Duran's Notorious for a similar effect;

Dear BP,


Ooh ooh


We're no strangers to love


You know the rules and so do I


A full commitment's what I'm thinking of


You wouldn't get this from any other guy


I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling


Gotta make you understand


Never gonna give you up


Never gonna let you down


Never gonna run around and desert you


Never gonna make you cry


Never gonna say goodbye


Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


We've known each other for so long


Your heart's been aching but


You're too shy to say it


Inside we both know what's been going on


We know the game and we're gonna play it


And if you ask me how I'm feeling


Don't tell me you're too blind to see


Never gonna give you up


Never gonna let you down


Never gonna run around and desert you


Never gonna make you cry


Never gonna say goodbye


Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


Never gonna give you up


Never gonna let you down


Never gonna run around and desert you


Never gonna make you cry


Never gonna say goodbye
