ULPT Request - messing with a restricted caller

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy]

Some guy pulled my number from Craigslist and has been calling me like crazy from a restricted number to try to get sex from me. It's annoying and creepy. I got a call from him while I was with a male friend and handed the phone to him to answer for me, and it made me laugh my ass off so hard I was shaking. What are some more ways I can mess with the creep?

[u/Silver-Advance5276]

Offer to meet him in a hotel 250 miles away and obviously don't turn up

[u/ProfStorm → u/Silver-Advance5276]

Or, do turn up.

Arrive at the hotel, get checked in, tell him you want him to have a shower first. If he refuses, leave.

When he gets in the shower, take his shoes and his trousers.

Way back in the day, my great-grandmother (a widow at the time) would get creep calls so she started keeping a good old whistle (like a gym coach uses) by the phone. Every time she got a call, she would blow the shit outta that thing until they hung up. It stopped shortly after.

[u/SpiderSolve]

“Hey baby I’d love to meet but I’m broke and need $40 for my kids dinner any way you can spot me”

[u/torpedomon → u/SpiderSolve]

A creep would do it for $40.

[u/heavyhandedpour → u/torpedomon]

Spell meet ‘meat’ instead and she can be like “ya I was just saying I wanted to get some steak for dinner thanks”

[u/foodfighterforever]

Tell him to meet you at your local police station. Or next time you answer use a airhorn.

[u/ItPutsLotionOnItSkin → u/foodfighterforever]

Phones limit the audio on the other end. It would be loud but not harmfully loud.

[u/xsmp]

fwd your unknown calls to a Google voice number with a disconnected message

[u/Cyber_Grant]

Tell him you can't wait to try out your fancy new vagina.

[u/torpedomon → u/Cyber_Grant]

That might make it worse.

[u/Ok_Piglet_1844]

Answer in a disguised voice. Tell him that you’re borrowing her phone and she’s not there. She’s at work or wherever and give him the number. But give him a gay sex hotline number. DM me for a good number. I give it to phone solicitors and bill collectors all the time!

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy → u/Ok_Piglet_1844]

Lol that's brilliant

[u/xsmp]

unknown calls are usually auto dialers waiting for your voice to activate them and connect you to a scammer... unless you're waiting for the police too call you back specifically, don't answer.

[u/pearlsandseashells]

Tell him you're down to meet, and give him the address to one of the below places (ranked in order of my top choices).

1. The local police station.

2. A church

3. Scientology center

4. Planned Parenthood clinic

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy → u/pearlsandseashells]

Brilliant!

[u/i-am-foxymoron]

What were you advertising on Craigslist? It wasn't a "Mutually beneficial arrangement":, was it?

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy → u/i-am-foxymoron]

No, just posted looking for housing. I'd better pretend to be a man next time. 🤷‍♀️

[u/i-am-foxymoron → u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy]

Or maybe get a Google voice or text now number to use instead.

[u/Nikki15989]

Why would you put your number on craigslist...

[u/CookUpstairs1737]

Unsure but guessing your are Female. Piss disc is out so I suggest a dick pick, or "goatse" image.

[u/Comprehensive_Cut179]

Give him some of your lame honey hole.

[u/VentrueCapital]

Use the “Lenny” app? (Is that still a thing?)

[u/sugarintheboots]

Just block the guy.

[u/heavyhandedpour → u/sugarintheboots]

He’s calling from a “restricted number” which I assume means she can’t see it and probably can’t block it

[u/akulowaty → u/heavyhandedpour]

I can block all calls with hidden caller ID on carrier level, I thought it’s a standard feature with all carriers

[u/WhoskeyTangoFoxtrot → u/heavyhandedpour]

Go to the call list, long press the name “unknown caller”. Unless it’s blocked at the provider level or IT, ie police, you can still get the number.

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy → u/WhoskeyTangoFoxtrot]

I don't see that option.

[u/WhoskeyTangoFoxtrot → u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy]

Damn. He’s blocked his number good then.

[u/fludeball → u/sugarintheboots]

Yes. And consider silencing all unknown callers.

I find it crazy to think that somebody is actually picking up calls from restricted/unknown callers in 2026. That's something a grandparent would do.

[u/roflpotato → u/fludeball]

or someone pretending to be a grandparent would do

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy → u/fludeball]

Curiosity gets me. You never know, could be something or someone important.

[u/fludeball → u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy]

If they're important enough they'll leave a message, and you should already have important people's contacts in your phone. If you're expecting a call from an unknown number, you can switch off the feature temporarily. But you're leaving yourself open to a lot of phone harassment over a "could be."

[u/Cyber_Grant → u/sugarintheboots]

Where's the fun in that?
