I was just threatened over the phone.

I think I know who it was, but they blocked the number so I'm not totally sure.

They said that "I was gonna get mine."


I'm not really sure what I should do about it.


What do you all think?

If you think you know who it was, are you in trouble and in the risk zone of getting threatened etc. ?

Maybe he owes you money, or he's going to return your lawnmower.

None of us can possibly know what to think unless we know more about whom you think threatened you, and why.

But generally speaking, I can't imagine myself getting too concerned over someone threatening me over the phone. About as frightening as being threatened over the internet....


I will get U ! U will B pwnd !

Ignore it. If you see someone come after you then call the cops.

Did you recognize the voice? Have you done something recently that would cause someone to do this?

I've called the police before about threats. Nothing they can do until some action is taken against you.

I can't remember exactly which one it is but there is one of the * numbers on your phone you can use if they continue to call. I think it is *67. Check your phone book or call your phone company to make sure.

We had some guy calling (w/blocked #) and being a perv to my wife and we used it. After three times using the *# the phone company notified the police and they went and had a "talk" with him. They then came to my house in the middle of nowhere and told us what they found out and what they did. Turned out to be some teenage boy. I guess they scared the crap out of him as he never called again!

It was me, sorry.


no but seriously, have you ever just picked a random number out of the phone book and just tried to make conversation with the person? Make sure you mention that u randomly picked it from the phone book. I get a kick out of it, but then again i have no life

Pizza delivery? You wouldn't want someone else's Pizza.

Remember if the beating doesn't arrive within 30 mins, the next one is free.

Seriously, I'd ignore it for now (assuming that you're not aware of any reason someone would want to threaten you). If it happens again, just call the phone company and the police. They can trace the number even if it's blocked.
