You may leave your message after the tone.

You have decided to leave a threatening message on our voicemail. This is clearly a violation of several laws pertaining to the rights of individuals to be free from harm and the threat of violence. Please await our response on this matter.

You have discovered the well-armed squadron of soldiers now surrounding your home. In a few moments, they will begin to remove your front door with force and take you away to the proper authorities. We recommend not resisting this action. They are authorities acting within their legal rights.

You have now been incarcerated by our team of soldiers and are now free to leave one message for one particular contact. We recommend contacting a lawyer first before speaking to your family. They can provide relevant information to help you in your present situation and save you some embarrassment from the inquiries of both families and friends. Your message will be forwarded to them as soon as possible and you may keep your cellphone for further messages (the signal has been blocked for the last hour for your protection).

As of now, your bank accounts have been frozen. This is a temporary measure to prevent you from attempting to purchase a ticket to escape and leave the country before all legal options have been exhausted. After your case has been discussed and reviewed, you will have access to the accounts and the money therein. As well, your credit and debit cards have also been declared null and void. This is once again a temporary measure to prevent any untoward actions on your part. We would suggest that once your cards are available for use that you reset your password (we are not responsible for any possible hacking and loss of data).

You have chosen to contact your lawyer and be aware of your rights in this situation. As stated in a previous message, you have threatened the occupants of the office of _______________________________ with violence and have, therefore, broken the law. Your lawyer has advised you that we were completely within our rights to incarcerate you and deny access to telecommunication with family and friends. We regret to inform you that your family has now been made aware of your situation and will be able to visit you at an undisclosed location in 6 to 12 weeks. You may keep your cellphone and thank you for using the services of _______________________. Good-bye.
