I sent her an email saying:

Your emails have been sending to the blackberry you sold me since yesterday.

Vague, I know... I should have probably explained more but I was at work.

I'm still receiving emails a day later and she never responded, so I sent her another email today.

please stop your emails from sending to my blackberry.

No where did I say SHE was sending me emails, I told her that her emails were being sent to my (her old) blackberry.

I get this response from her:

I have not sent you ANY EMAILS!!

well, i may have had the same reaction. especially when your first email was worded so poorly. if you had said "my crackberry is still receiving all your emails" or "can you stop emails from forwarding to the crackberry?" something like that id think you were getting email meant for me.

I ended up sending her an email asking her how pizza was last night.

I forgot to remove my signature from the email, so my phone number was still there. A couple hours after that I received a call from a private number, I didn't answer whoever it was didn't leave a message. Another call from a private number the next day, didn't answer and the person didn't leave a message. I'm assuming it was her, but I don't answer numbers I don't know.

Hours later I got an notice on the blackberry stating the email was deactivated. I guess she figured it out. :roll:

Yes, I know... pretty boring. But if anyone cared I thought they should know.

damn WTF you have to be creepy about it and then not back up your actions with answering the phone?

No one is going to hurt you through the phone.

I figure if they want to talk to me then they'll leave a message.

I should have answered since I knew it was her, but I didn't prepare myself to be creepy... I had a golden opportunity to make a great story but I blew it.

It would have been easier to do a factory reset from the options menu, FFS.

She did a factory reset before she sent it. Wouldn't have done anything anyway because her emails were sending to me through the verizon/blackberry website push service.

you did fine being creepy...make your stories things people want to be part of.
