Trolling by cell phone

Last Saturday, November 18, my cell phone has been getting anonymous calls. I thought they were from some friends but when I answered the call, the caller/s would not speak. I replied by text to some numbers, "Who is this please, thank you", no reply, deadma.

My suspicions where they were coming from:

1. Marketing warriors trying to sell me something.
2. Duterte warriors who love my criticism of the President.
3. Climate warriors who want to "save the planet" and unhappy with those who question their religion.
4. Others, as joked by some friends: (a) BBC trying to interview me (a joke in reference to a Du30 fanatic blogger Sass Sassot who got angry at BBC because they never interviewed her), (b) they are my silent admirers, etc.

#1 is not possible because marketing people quickly speak when their call is picked up.
#s 2 and 3 are possible.

Then the anonymous calls continued until yesterday. Here is a summary of the calls:

a) Last Saturday, 7 calls from 7 different numbers:
0917-5377634
0917-5372684
0917-8163219
0917-8163621
0917-3183613
0917-5375776
0917-3194184

b) Last Sunday, 2 calls from 1 number:
0956-8660941(2x)

c. Yesterday, Monday, 8 calls from 9 different numbers:

0917-5372550 (2x)
0917-8163046
0917-5372684
0917-8163621
0917-3158973
0917-5379213
0917-8163513
0917-5378095

Here are the screen shots, arranged from latest to earliest calls. "Today" refers to yesterday, Monday, I took the shots at 11:42pm.

 

So there, I don't know who these trolls are but I ignore their calls. I will also report this to DICT and Sec. Eli Rio, Jr.
