Does anyone know if it is a practice of any particular company to create messages which could be left on someone's cellphone?

I had a strange message left on my cellphone last night from a private number. The message said, in a flat, somewhat female-sounding, completely unemotional yet "pleasant" voice:

"I'm coming to get you."

That's it.

Does any company create such messages? I am not sure who would leave such a message but the feedback from others is that it is not a "friendly" thing to say.

Anyway, the voice was very smooth, measured, no inflections, clear, completely anonymous sounding. It sounded like it was computer-generated.  It was slow enough that there would be no mistake about what was being said. Slow, measured.

Any ideas? At first, I thought it might be a prank. Maybe it is a prank.

Or, maybe it is completely positive, some kind of promise. How would I know? There is no way to know what is meant.

Am I supposed to take it as a threat or a promise or both? No doubt, I will let it pass by. How is a person to respond?

Thank you for your reply, Wade. Yes, I did save it. There was no background noise, none. There was no way to identify it. I have had pranks before, which sounded personal and, of course, random. This was entirely without personality. Oh, and the recording was exactly the length of the voice message....no "filler" air time there.

blink,

Two thoughts entered my mind.

1. Could it have been sent to you by mistake? i.e. the wrong number dialled. Perhaps it was someone wanting to pick up their lover!
2. You say it was from a private number. Have you phoned it back? If not, why? Give it a whirl to see what happens.
