My fiance, "Jennifer FakeName" keeps getting these strange messages and phone calls.

The man's voice on the phone always talks very slowly and clearly, but not creepy.

The man states his name is "Jon FakeName" which is Jenn's brother name, but the man isn't claiming to be Jenn's brother.

The man then states he is from Oregon and in Miami from a Cruise in the Grand Caymon Islands.

The man continues that they are having a party later and he will call so "we can talk".

This is the second call, pretty much the exact same message.

The first time he called I actually gave the phone to Jenn who couldn't get anything from from him, he wasnt selling anything, he didnt seem to want anything etc.. etc.. eventually she just hung up.

I'm not really scared, I'm just confused. It is not a recorded message or a computer generated voice, there is actually someone on the other end.

What should I do?

Edit: Crap, I thought this was Foo... sorry guys.

It's an abusive call however you see it: you need to contact your phone company to explain the situation. It may seen fairly harmless now, but you don't want it to continue or deteriorate. At the very best, the guy is confused and may be in need of some help.

Miami...cruise...confused...

Sounds like a confused old man. Just ignore it and see if it stops. The guy probably looked up the wrong name in the phonebook or something.

Assuming that by now his cruise ship had departed....

Log each call marking time, date, length of conversation. If she has CallerID that'd be great too.

At the very least, notify your phone company to let them know you are having problems. They will tell you just what you need to do.

In the meantime, were I her, I would limit my conversations with him to the very minimum needed to ascertain whom is making the calls.

I had a problem with a caller a couple of years ago and I was successful in having the caller brought to justice using this methodology.

You could always do a search for that name in Oregon, and a search for your girlfriends name in your area. See if it is a case of mistaken identity.

You could also ask for a number to call them back, if they hang up or won't give it you know something isn't right.

Pretty creepy.
It could just be a mistake, try calling back as the other posts suggested. If it continues report it to the Police.
