leeslover Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I keep getting texts from a number I don't know, referring to events I wasn't at - it looks sort of similar to the chatty stuff that comes with all the Viagra adverts that appear in my email. Is it an attempt to screw my phone up or hack it in some way? Or does some dippy teenage bird have the wrong number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspiral_Carpet Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) I keep getting texts from a number I don't know, referring to events I wasn't at - it looks sort of similar to the chatty stuff that comes with all the Viagra adverts that appear in my email. Is it an attempt to screw my phone up or hack it in some way? Or does some dippy teenage bird have the wrong number? Have you tried googling searching in Google for the number? Usually, that will tell you if it is a scam or not. Edited October 9, 2007 by Ackey Google is NOT a do-ing word!!! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
