Not 100% sure as they didn't introduce themselves but whoever called was able to get the phone number that the IP address was linked to and I assume both would have to have been involved in order to do that.



Creepy. If you don’t mind me asking - eastern eu?


Yes; former communist but not former soviet union. Old habits die hard I guess.


Not sure if we’re talking about the same situation, but the last time I was in Bulgaria, there was massive brain drain and a lot of, eh, ‘false nostalgia’ for a very different past.

But tons of money coming in from the EU. I can imagine a lot of public quiet, private ‘angst’ about the kind of situation you’re describing.

Wild guess - Romania? (If not Bulgaria)


Your guess is correct. However I've not personally witnessed any nostalgia for communism in Romania though.
