I was out last night at a networking event. I got home at 1am.
We were woken up at 4:55am by the phone.
We got to the phone but missed the call. but there was a message.
It was what sounded like an elderly woman, heavy breathing. Rasping. She said one word. "Sharon". My girlfriends name.
Obviously quite disturbed by this Sharon did 1471 immediately, got the number and called it back. The same woman answered and, calling Sharon by her name, explained that her mum (Sharon's mum) was seriously ill, was having difficulty breathing and was being rushed to hospital. Sharon asked which hosipital, to which she replied Basildon.
Sharon belted out the house like a mad woman, as you would, in her pyjamas and drove the 10 mins to her mum's house.
Her mum was in. In bed. Asleep. Alive.
Sharon had woken her brother up to let him know while she was on the way to the house. He called the number back. The same woman replied, and denied speaking to Sharon
I am bloody furious. We've since phoned the number back and there is no answer. We've also called the police.
But what I don't get is the fact that we are ex-directory. No one recognises the number. So how did they know that someone called Sharon lived at our telephone number?
I feel sick. I've only had 3 hours sleep and have to go to work now. Glad her mum is OK though.
Is there any way of finding an address from a telephone number?
