h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A short while ago (ok, a couple of months ago) I got a text message asking me who I was. I didn't answer.

Then about a month ago I got a phone call at 10.30pm asking me who I was. I said that I didn't know who they were (as my phone didn't tell me) and ended the call.

Then last night I noticed I'd got yet another text from this person asking who I was so I asked them who they were. They gave me their name. I didn't know anyone with that name so I told them. I then got 3 further messages saying that they must know me as they have my number!

hmmm...I think I might be getting in touch with my mobile provider to request an alternative number.

There are some strange people about, hunny

Hubby keeps receiving missed calls from one of the top Chester Schools. Then a text advising of the parent's evening. As there is no name, he can't advise the school that they have the wrong number

Every year I get a text message wishing me a happy Diwali.

I used to text them back, but they always ignored it, so now I don't bother. I may light a instead

gimmie your numberand I'll tell you who I am

doesn't sound like a stalker VV, and believe me I know what they sound like.

I have lost a friend this year due to mobile number changes and (her) house move - I have no idea how to contact her anymore and she didn't send me an Xmas card (unusual...) so I'll just have to hope I bump into her. Kind of your situation in reverse, but

Happy diwali, Icy!

and a happy new year to all

just ask for an address, that usually stops it, it it dos'ent tell them your going to bill them (a really large charge tends to stop it)

I had something similar years ago. I ended up giving the stranger's number to my mobile phone provider so they could block the number. I never heard from that person again.

Hmmm...I've been receiving my share of odd email traffic lately...
People seemingly saying they know me....

either they typed in a number wrong or someone they asked for their number gave them a random one which just happened to be yours. Next time I suggest a reply along the lines of 'you've got a wrong number - I guess he/she (as applicable) wasn't that interested...'

Either that or string it out. 'Oh yes, I remember, John's party. Did Helen ever find out what you did?' and see how far it goes...

Back in October/November I kept getting phone calls from a Chinese Lady shouting down my phone "Chang, Chang you call me back Chang" speaking to her on the phone she never believed me, so I just let the voice mails pile up.

number crunching eh!

I've had similar experiences, Kevin convinced I was Jackie. He eventually deleted my number, but getting the provide to block it seems like a good idea.

odd on! ???

NOW THAT'S a strange message

Vicki it must have been very scary to have got a telephone call out of the blue like that, I hope that you won't get anymore.

Now and again I get companies calling on my mobile but it is not for me but for someone else and I keep on telling them that they have got the wrong number. Another thing is I get are offers to compensation for loan insurance which has been miss sold to me which I have never took out and I have never ever given my bank my mobile phone number.

OK. Have had three more texts and 3 phone calls from this blighter. He's really beginning to do my head in.

Am really wanting to change my phone number now.

Contact your provider and have him blocked by them.

Hippy New Year!

ola young virago....

well sorry to hear that hunni...should you change dont forget to let me know....

wazzow

Don't rush into changing your number, start by asking your network provider to block the number.

I have to say I'd be freaked out if it happened to me. Hope you get it sorted out.
