If you're getting repeated calls, talk to the phone company.

Im freaked out. I got a call on my cell a few min ago from a restricted number. I picked up and it was all creppy sounds and backwards talk and such and then it said at the end "Now it begins" and hung up. Well i traced it back a bit and after some digging the number the call originated from was payphone...but the payphones id number is 666....now im scared.....help! Shocked

strang phone calls

i have been called three times one at 3:31 am with a with held number i have recieved a new phone and have jut been married. No one that has my number would do this. The first call i thought it was simply someone with the wrong number the second was someone playing music and there was a baby crying at 3:31 in the morning the third was today the caller was playing the excorcist theme on a piano when i said hello the caller hung up. This is super strange, does anyone know what this is?

uhm, how did you find unFiction if you weren't looking for Alternate Reality Game?

You just popped in here because you are getting strange phone calls?


CF = Chaotic Fiction
PM = Puppet Master (author of the ARG or CF) or it can mean Private Message
IG = In Game (something that exists in the universe or reality of the game and is real to the characters in the game)
OOG = Out of Game (doesn't exist to the game characters, thou shalt not speak of any OOG issues/websites/knowledge to an IG character)
TOS = Terms of Service - the "laws" that guide our use of uF (unFiction)

What other acronyms are you asking about? Depends on the topic.

Dunno what to tell you. Perhaps your phone number belonged to someone else in the past.

If you are not an ARG player, that your calls should not be part of any game (unless a PM has a wrong number).

Sounds more like wrong number or missdials.
