Weird phone call what should I do about it? I think it was illegal?

Question

Awhile ago this women called me and asked for my boyfriend. I said that he wasn't here and could I take a message and she asked if I knew when he would be home. I said uh no then she had the nerve to ask me who I was and I said I'm his girlfriend. Then she was very appologetic and said my name is Cindy and I'm calling from DCS. I'm looking for someone in your apartment complex his name is bob and lives in apt # 1 do you know him? I told her that I did know of him and she asked me for his phone number but I didn't know it. She told me to take down her name and number and give it to him the next time that I saw him or to just put the note on the door. It seemed kinda funny to me so I did some research and found this link.

The same thing happend to this person but I don't know if I sould report it or just for get about it. What should I do?

Answer 1

yes u should report the call to the police or your telephone company.the kind of phone call you got could have ruined your relationship and some person you  dont know probably knows your boyfriend.

Answer 2

I used to get calls for my neighbor.  I think they have computers that search by address.  I don't think it's illegal if they have "reason", but if it were me, I wouldn't (and didn't), pass the message on.

Answer 3

I would definitely report it, you never actually know if it is legitimate or not.
