    Weeeeeeeird phone call

    I get this voice mail on my cell phone from David at US Airways in Seattle asking for Shmerham and saying that Ashley's flight has been changed to a direct flight to Philadelphia and that she should arrive an hour early. They didn't leave a number to call back.

    WTF?!!

    I've been careful to not give my credit card number to any hookers named Ashley (or any hookers at all). I checked all my cards and none had a charge for a plane ticket.

    The fact that they got my name right and that it was from Seattle spooks me. How the f did that happen. I've also never flown US Air (I have flown United, but that was 3 years ago).

    When I get 45 minutes to wait on the line I'll call US Air and maybe I'll get an explanation.

    Identity theft? Someone using your SS to get a credit card (that you don't know about) and ringing things up? Just the first thing that popped into my head.

    Second thought...go pick Ashley up at the airport?

    Yeah, pull your credit report and make sure you approved all the open accounts on there - there could certainly be a new card you've never seen, identity theft.

    Good luck, crossing fingers for ya.

    Wow, good idea. Will a credit report have up-to-date data on account balances?

    No, not really. They should show you outstanding balances, but it's not really up to date, or a true "account balance. However, they'll show you all of the accounts and credit activity for you. If you see an account with The Shane Company, or a Mastercard even though you've never bought diamonds or signed up for a Mastercard, then you know your identity has been stolen. The accounts are probably maxed out, as they'll make hay when the sun shines, and then ditch the card or account.

    Good luck.

    Also, it's weird that they knew your screen name, and they didn't call you by your real name (which is Dr. Fitsimmons, I believe).

    Wow, that is weird. Look into it for sure...

    And find out if Ashley is hot.

    Ask for naked pics of Ashley.

    EDIT...You might be in luck. I Googled
    "Ashley" and up popped a bunch of naked chics.

    I received a prepaid long distance call (the operator patched me through) from some guy who said:

    [in my best motivated salesman/disc jockey voice] "Hi, This is Joe down in sunny San Diego... how would you like to come down and enjoy a refreshing 5 foot margarita? I said "probably not" and he immediately hung up.

    In hindsight I should have said something like "The eagle has landed and he is mucho thirsty"... Then I would have been given the coordinates to go pick up some drug stash or something. I say that cause I've also been getting collect calls from some guy in the Utah State Prison for some women I've never heard of.
    Thanks for the new phone number Qwest... I'm much more popular now!



    sorry for the hi-jack
