"I'm so sorry," Casey apologized, "This guy keeps calling me at three in the morning. Every night, he tries to tell me these nasty things. I keep hoping he'll stop, but he doesn't!"

Jen clucked, "I bet the phone company said they couldn't do anything about it, huh?"

"Yeah," Casey exclaimed, "since he's not actually threatening me,and he's blocking his caller ID, they're helpless. They actually told me to turn off my ringer. I can't do that! What if there's an emergency when the kids are at their dad's?"

"The same thing happened to me last year," whispered Jen. "Wanna know how I got rid of the guy?"

Jen told Casey how her old college roommate told her about the Pretender Voice Changer. She loved her new apartment, but wasn't so crazy about the neighborhood. Since the voice changer made it sound like a burly man lived at her place, she thought it would be perfect if someone buzzed her doorbell late at night.

"Instead," Jen said, "this jerk starts calling my number ALL THE TIME. I'd get messages from him all day long, but I don't think he had the guts to actually call me at night. So I took a personal day, got myself a good book and settled in next to the phone."

"So what happened," asked Casey.

"Sure enough, the guy calls," Jen said, "and I answer, ?hello,this is Mark.'"

Casey gasped, "what did he do?"

"He just gulped and said he had the wrong number," Jen replied.

Casey puzzled, "the guy didn't know you were a woman?"

"He had no clue," exclaimed Jen, "because it sounds so real. I've got it on my answering machine, if you want to hear it."

Jen whipped out her cell phone and dialed her home number, handing the phone to Casey as it rang. When the machine picked up, Casey's eyes bulged with surprise.

"No way," Casey gasped. "There's no way that's your voice. You sound like a guy!"

"It's great," Jen confessed, "though I did have to explain to my Mom why some guy was answering my phone. But it gets better. The guy called back one more time."

"What'd you do?" asked Casey?

"This time, I pressed the button that made it sound like I had a baby crying in the background," giggled Jen. "I switched on my male voice and told him that I'd better not find the guy that woke up my kid. I swear I heard him drop the phone, he tried to hang up so fast!"

"That's it," cried Casey. "You've got to tell me where you got that thing."
