Can I speak to Mike please … Mike Hutchinson!
Alright fellow readers of my blog. I know you might be a little bit shocked from the title since it doesn’t have any relation with the niche I am actually writing (affiliate marketing , webmaster, blogging tips) but this is an interesting read and I am sure you gonna enjoy it.
The story began 6 months from now.I was getting some strange phone calls on my private mobile number but I couldn’t see the number as it was always masked (private call). Firstly I thought it must have been a joke from my friends but it was really weird because all the time i was hearing the same voice and the same words
“Hello”… “do you hear me?” … “Can I speak to Mike please?”… “Mike Hutchinson”
The last few calls I received, the number wasn’t masked so I found his number: 004951234567
Had some spare time and I googled the above number and I was blown away from the results I saw.
I was not alone, affected from the same mysterious call were and 40-50 other people from all the corners of the world.
I would highly recommend you to read THIS PAGE as it is filled with mysterious information, people complaining about 10-20 phone calls in each day and all of them from the same bot / maniac “The Mike VIRUS”
I didn’t get any phone calls for about 1 month until one day before… It was around 11:47 PM and my dad’s mobile rang .. He was sleeping so I quickly answered . . . the same message … again “The Mike Virus” but now from a different brand new number (as I googled it and I didnt get any revelant results)
The new number was: +518100127 and what it really amazed me even more was the fact that the previous number is a PRIME Number … so is this just by chance or something is going on?
Cheers

I got 3 or 4 of these calls in the pst 3 mos. Couldn’t figure out the point of this scam (my name is Mike, btw, so for a while I thought my drunk friends were playing with me). Finally decide to Google, found a bunch of references.
Some thoughts:
- our numbers are in some spammers’ database
- the objective of the scam (when you actually see the # on the caller ID) is probably to get you to call back, and then the recipient is getting some kind of micro-payments
- or, this could be a test, in preparation for some kind of massive denial-of-service dialing attack
