[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 347609, member: 4367"]No doubt it's someone who you've cyberly acquainted yourself with. This site not excluded.

One day out of the blue (2-3 months ago) we get a call asking if they were speaking to Blake of Bonedigger's Farm, WTH??? LMAO... BTW, I only use Bonedigger on two forums, both numismatically related. The caller wanted to know all sorts of harmless (if taken individually) tidbits of information. How many cows we have, how many dogs, horses, chickens... I finally got a word in edgewise to ask whom I'm speaking to. Apparently (they said) it was some sort of Reverse Rural 911 directory. I immediately smelled BS but played along. When the question about the physical address of where we were located and the number of doors to the house was broached, I quoted the phone number from which the call originated from and immediately they hung up. When I tried to call back all I could get was a busy signal. I won't divulge anything else, but it was an area code that surprised me... If you can do a massive password change I'd do so immediately.
