Concerned About Ike

Thing is though, I found him through all legit and public info.

 

Good grief, could they have handled that any worse?

 

Well, no answer is better than disconnected. Will this person be willing to call again?

 

Geez Bonnie, yeah, they really had their wires crossed. How upsetting that would be!! You deserved some sort of compensation for that, geez, at least a letter or something of apology

 

Wonder if they ever found this woman's relatives?

 

@Ruby Begonia, I'm sure she would. It could also be that the info I found was an old number. He may not even have a phone now where he lives.

Also, if the address was correct he should have gotten my card by now. I haven't received any calls.

 

I hadn't thought of the number being old. It would have to be very old, so old it was finally reassigned to someone new. Otherwise, there would be a number disconnected recording, I'm thinking. I would vote for calling again. And again.

 

Ok, maybe I'll even call.

 

I just did and after about 15 rings a weird screeching noise came on. That's it.

 

You can here in the UK ring your phone company to check that the number is connected and operating OK. A screeching noise is bit weird, we get a continuous tone if the number is unobtainable, or a voice recording saying that.

 

That's what I got after letting it ring a long time, don't know what it means.

 

The fact it rings sounds like it's connected which would point to him being in hospital or maybe staying with his daughter. Can you put the phone number into Google search, I have traced addresses that way in the UK a few times, a reverse directory.

 

Do you think the screeching noise is a fax machine turning on?

 

Yes, I can do that.

 

Now that you mention it, Ruby. Kind of sounds like that.
