The man on the voicemail is flirty and clearly asking for a date. But it's the name on the message that's raising red flags.
"Hi, it's your newly favorite congressman, Bob Filner. You know, the one who fell in love with you at your last speech," he told Eldonna Fernandez.
He also asked her out to dinner in the message.
"I don't want to wait 'til you come back to have dinner with you," he said.
When Fernandez got the message, she immediately deleted it. But when sexual harassment allegations against the now-San Diego mayor began to surface a few weeks ago, she remembered the "creepy" message and was surprised to find it still sitting in her iPhone's voicemail trash.
"Ugh. It creeps me out, it creeps me out," Fernandez said. "The guy's got problems."
But the unwanted voicemail isn't the real problem for Fernandez. It's where and to whom he made inappropriate advances.
Fernandez, along with Army veteran Gerri Tindley, joins 11 other women who have publicly accused Filner, 70, of making unwanted advances, from groping to verbal passes.
They are also among at least eight female veterans and members of the National Women's Veterans Association of America (NWVAA) in San Diego who have made accusations against the mayor.
