Atração Fatal

An anonymous brasilian woman called my work phone on Saturday and sang a children's song to my answering machine before hanging up. I'm incredibly creeped out!

I only know one brasilian woman in London, and it wasn't her voice (plus, she would never do such a thing to me.) So I've been cracking my brain trying to figure out:

a) Who is this person and how did she find my work phone?
b) Why did she leave me such a creepy message? (though my co-workers think it's more like the silly humour of someone stoned)
c) Will she be calling again and, if my boss picks up, what will she say?

If the caller was one of you, please let me know.

The song was Amiguinha Xuxa.

Oh, YUCK! I hate it when people do "amusing" things like this, blithely ignorant of the effect it has on the recipient.

I had a "friend" use my library card for half a year (she was a librarian!) and I was so pissed off I broke contact. I honestly thought it was proper identity fraud for a while.

Hope it sorts itself out - xx

Could it have been a wrong number?

A very, freakishly coincidental wrong number considering the chances of the person ringing in London and the person they got to being Brasillian :p

I really do sympathise with the way you feel about this. If they were not trying to wind you up, they really should have thought about it.

What type of phone system do you have at work? Would it be possible to trace who called?

I wouldn't go crazy worrying about it, unless it becomes a ritual. I've received weird voice mail at home in the past. Sometimes I would play it over and over again to try and discern the voice, but more often than not, it was just a one shot occurrence.

Xuxa was hot. I watched her show in Mexico sometimes-

If it turns out to have been the former singer from Drugstore then I would suggest that you put it onto a CD and sell it on eBay...

Maybe it's someone from the Brazilian Embassy ;)
