Strange phone calls... for BM. Help me make sense.

Seems lately calls to the house by people looking for BM have increased, even stranger is they are calling her by her old name...FDH's last name.

I get that I live in a house once occupied by BM when she was married to FDH - but she moved out over 3 years ago and upon the divorce she changed her name back to her maiden name (it says in the divorce that she changed it) and has since gotten married and changed it again.

It has always bothered me that BM still uses her old email address which has FDH's last name but now I am starting to wonder if BM is living a secret double life and still using her old name for stuff.

for example...

When we got home Sunday there was a message from a Student Exchange Program looking for BM (Her first name FDH's last name). It's odd because FDH said that while they had talked about getting a foreign exchange student (he had one when he was in HS) they had agreed to wait until the sKids where in HS (currently 5 and 7) and they had not contacted any one about doing it as far as he knew. A little concerned but he knew calling BM would be pointless and probably more confusing so he called the lady back instead. He told her, his name and that he was BM's ex-husband. Then told her that BM doesn't live at this number and hasn't for 3 years but if she wanted he could give her, BM's new name and number. The lady seemed puzzled and said "Oh I guess it's been awhile since we talked to her".

Then earlier in the week some one called for BM (just asked for her my first name) and I told them she didn't live here any more... after a pause they asked if I had her new number.

And a couple weeks ago there was another message on our machine from the shipping department at Socially Connect looking for BM (her first name and FDH's last name) We just deleted that one but maybe we should have called them back as well.

I am just a little concerned as to what is going on - is it normal to still get these phone calls after 3 years?

I think these women continue to use our DHs last name when it's convenient...or sometimes, just to piss us off...hmmm. I know loser did. I am almost certain she also used it to gain credit, but well, it's hard to prove that too...sigh

I would either change my number or immediately give them her number and hang up. If you are getting ANY of her mail, get one of those cards to fill out so that none of her mail goes to your house.

surprisingly we don't get any mail for her, just the random weird phone calls. I supose we could change our number, then if we got anymore calls it would be real freaky. lol. If he is doing this I can't figure out why she isn't giving them her cell number. But then again she isn't that bright.

I hope it was a bill collector. Smile

The first year that I lived here i didn't answer FDH's phone (because it wasn't mine), I think we got maybe 1 or 2 voice mails, mostly people that she knew but apparently didn't know her well (one was someone she must have worked with calling for a reference). But now it seems like it's more companies calling and looking for her. The Socially Connect I think was about her home business she used to have (which she may have started back up?). We are thinking that her and Chubby Hubby are having issues with money (among other things) so she maybe trying to make a buck.

it would appear as though that is what she thinks lol. Little does she know that we are actually making her look stupid and unprofessional. Smile

I hopes she does bring it up.

Thanks I will do this. FDH and I both have good credit (saw the report a few months ago with we bought a truck) I plan to look at them again soon. If there is anything I am not as nice as FDH when it comes to that stuff - if it affects me I will call the cops.
