I said 'who to?' and hung up.

Maybe you should have told her you’ll book an air ticket to Australia for her

Years ago SWMBO used to get a strange and wierd calls from some bloke.

We worked out it was always same time of the day,random days.

In those days we used to switch phone over after hours to a paging service.

So we switched the phone over at the time he used to call,for a few days.

Never heard from him again

Quite often a mate would ring up and we’d arrange to go out, I’d tell them to ring other mates and I wouldn’t hang up
As soon as they picked up the phone again I’d say what are you ringing me back for

Maybe it’s all changed with the NBN

Years ago I do remember that, if the phonee hung up and the phoner didn't, the line would stay open.
The phonee could pick up their receiver and resume the conversation.

That was changed many moons ago, long before NBN.

Could have a chat with the operator, hey!

It doesn't seem that long ago that manual exchanges and party lines were in use.

It was called A-party release. The called person is the B-party.

Pretty bloody pathetic really, we have a whole government department devoted to cyber security the ACSC or Australian Cyber Security Centre. It's part of a re branded Defence Signals Directorate (intelligence spies

) called the 'Australian Signals Directorate' which apparently now has an on shore intelligence role.

Any way with an annual budget of around a Billion$$ or so (I kid you not), and this is just the transparent budget numbers, it is unable to sort a simple cyber based scam originating from a nearby 2nd or 3rd world **** hole. Makes you wonder if the ACSC is really a fair dinkum body or just a conduit to funnel funds to other more clandestine areas. If it can't sort a simple problem like 'Nicole' then whats the point of its existence ?
