What should I think about some guy who calls me and pretends to know me?  He claims I saw him last week but I couldn't recognize the name or the voice.  He wanted to know if I'm available tonite.  It turns out that he's a complete stranger.  For a moment I mistakenly thought he was someone else that I saw a week or so ago but then I remembered that guy had a different name.  When he realized I caught him lying, he hung up.  What would be someone's reason for doing this?

you haven't come across any jerks yet??

there's lots of them out there with nothing else better to do than to annoy escorts!

It's most likely that he did this for no very good reason at all.

I have had that happen to me also.  Same guy every once in a while calls me up.  "Hi sweetheart this is so and so, remember me?  I saw you last week at such and such hotel"  Meanwhile I was out of town or I was out with the friends the night he is talking about.  I think it is just some loser who has nothing else to do so he gets his kicks from calling girls up.  It is a total prank he isn't serious, don't pay any attention to him.  I actually told him he was a loser and to stop calling me and he has.

riker is right ... pinheads are not worth looking into.

Trying to act as if he is a "big shot" with his friends sitting around, getting revenge on you for some imagined slight, kid's playing on the phone, etc. etc.  Primarily, he did it cause he has just too darn much time on his hands.  Blow it off...but keep his number just in case he turns out to be a stalker or somesuch.  And call block him if you can in your region.  Don't waste your time and energy even thinking about him...he isn't worth it, obviously.  Just one of the pitfalls in sales.

Ok well if he's just a prankster, then I can overlook it, but my two important thoughts were   1) Someone who works in my office or in my profession (I'm a computer programmer) trying to figure out if the girl he found online is me.  2) LE trying to get me with my guard down.  I've been in the business for about 2 months and so far it's been a really great experience.  I've met some really nice gentlemen.  Of course I know that my good luck streak won't last so I'm definitely working up a screening process... I'm still learning the ropes.

how is that working for you? most of the ladies i've talked to seem to get a sense of the man from just a telephone conversation.

that seems like minimal screening to me: i guess most have concluded that men on average just aren't that threatening.

It's actually working quite well.  All the men I've met have been wonderful... no problems yet... except for this doofus on the phone.  I have been meeting people online for a few years and I seem to have a the ability to tell the good from the bad.  I am starting a screening process though just to stay safe.

Get a reasonable screening process for your own safety - then call me when you come to california
