This letter is in regard to a phony call i’ve received lately from someone posing herself as a young, 19YR old Kallah.
She was inquiring if I’m a Kallah teacher because she got this phone # from someone. When I answered in the negative, she started asking many inappropriate questions about marriage, stating that she’s getting married in Elul and is sooooooo scared. She made up some nice lies about her identity, family, and her past. It really sounded pretty real, but thank God i suspected something there and informed her that I will not answer any of her questions,and that she can contact a Kallah teacher if she’d like.
My suspicions were confirmed when I learned that 4 other people besides me got this identical phony call!!!!
Please be aware of any such phone calls. They sound very authentic. If you get this one, or any call from a stranger- DO NOT ANSWER THEM! They are all fraud!
even if it would be real – why would you answer such questions from someone you dont know, especially if you’re not a kallah teacher???
What is this impostor trying to accomplish?
What are they asking that is harmful? Are they asking for your personal information? Asking about halachos? I don’t see what the big deal is…
you have got to be kidding me!
what is with this new shtik of phony calls?
just some kids making crank calls. do you have caller ID? Next time they call tell them you are the police department and watch them hang up fast!
maybe its some goy or freiya yid who wants to form some loony article in the papers..
if you heard about the ny journal article u would know what i mean
shindy, it’s very easy to block the caller ID. That’s the first thing kids do when making prank calls.
This entry sounds as phony as the calls it claims to warn us about.
“shindy, it’s very easy to block the caller ID. That’s the first thing kids do when making prank calls. “
You can also have something on your phone line that prevents people to call you with a blocked caller ID. In order to call your line they have to first dial *82 or something like that before punching in your number, or your phone line will not accept the call. Either way you win. They cannot call you at all, or they MUST identify themselves.
It could be kids, true, but it could also be some pervert who gets her jollies from this type of call. OR, it could be that you should take this at face value, and it might be a kallah who has no female she can talk to, and is therefore calling different woemn hoping to get some help. In any case, if it is simply a stupid prank, find out who it is, and threaten to call the police. We once were getting annoying calls late at night (not of this nature), and after a couple of nights of this, we answered the phone, and my late father O”H made a clicking sound on the phone and then said in a different and very gruff voice, ” OK, Mahoney, we almost got the call traced! We only need them to call one more time and we will have their address in the system! We can arrest them on the next call!” We never got another call again. I was only a teenager then, but I still remember this.
its very simple ….there are sick sick people out there…sick
Refer this individual to a kallah teacher (giver her a #)
I’m not ignoring you. I dont live my life around blog entries on YWN. when I have time to go online and read blog entries AND have time to respond, I do. I’m sorry if replies are not up to your speed.
Why would someone make it up? the same reason someone would make up lots of things. They have nothing better to do with their time. They like to stir the pot. They want to have a discussion about this topic and thought of a round about way to bring it up, so far nobody has taken the bait and asked “so what did she ask”.
There is a wonderful service, called Privacy Manager by most phone providers. It will block all unidentified calls from ever reaching you.
JPHONE-
Sorry Im going back to such an old post. But I just wanted to inform you that my sister just got that phone call!!!! So it is true!!!
