The same. One day I got a call at 2am.

A few years ago I worked for a company that no longer exists today. They had, among other things, a job search service connected to their ID system. I was also doing my own project at the same time and needed Python developers. I was young and naive and thought I could find a junior and train him quickly. So I posted a vacancy on this job board: "Looking for a Python developer without experience." It turned out that they showed my phone number and it couldn't be turned off.

I received about 3-4 calls from very strange people who demanded to know how to become programmers. For some reason, they all started calling at about 5am. I even gave some useful advice to the first one, because I was taken aback by such impudence.

Today I use about 4 different phone numbers to separate my private life and data leaks like that.

My guess is the reason is they're from one particular geographical area, where 5am your time is their "start of business day" o'clock?

I wonder what geographical area that is.
