Dear Abby: First a wrong number, then a letter to my actual address. Is someone trying to scam me?

A series of reports to Dear Abby highlight concerns regarding persistent wrong number callers. One individual describes a caller who appears obsessive or forgetful and refuses to stop contacting them despite polite requests. Another case escalated from a wrong number call to a physical letter sent to a home address. Abby suggests that such individuals may act as scouts, identifying potential victims to be passed along to professional scammers for further exploitation.
