ALL MOBILE USERS READ THIS - URGENT

[maserati3200gt]

There is a Sick Pre Recorded Message been sent to Orange users with the voice of a Male threatening to "Kill" you if you call his "gal"
the message is sent as a phone call and the voice tell you to "shut up"

Orange are aware of the problem but will not issue a press release so I will be inorder to force them to do something about this sick joke.

We have had several calls now to a number of our mobiles but the customer Service Agents are not willing to pass any customers through to the Malicious calls dept becuase they are not able to speak to customers !

A number of friends have been very distressed by this Sick practical joke so be aware just in case you receive the call.
It is a random generated voice call not directed at you.

Please pass this message to any Orange / vodafone or 02 users.

is this related to those prank calls one can generate for a few of the queens best to an ad in the back pages of FHM?

Been going around for months now! I got done with it though did my usual and blew my stack completely - at which point the recording didnt make sense so realised it was a wind up!

I understand its a windup but the problem is that many people have been worried sick about it due to the nature of thier work etc and the misses dont believe the partners etc.

Death Threats are not on in any capacity IMO.

why weren't orange willing to do anything?

I thought it was illegal in this country for a phone call to be instigated by a recorded message ?

Matter for OfTel?

I hate mobiles. I hate them so much my bill is about 80p/month. Even so I got malicious texts: the anonymity makes people think they can do anything.

I had this just now, I wondered what was going on for a minute and started arguing with him until I remembered this post.

Cheers maserati for the warning, I would've lost my temper otherwise.
