Touchdown! Greaser!
Oddest thing. About three weeks ago, I got two SMS messages sent to my cell phone around midnight, from an area code nearby (214). Messages essentially said "i miss you. u should be here with me now", etc. (Wonder what Lady Red would think if SHE found my phone with messages like that on it!!)
Then, about a week later, two messages from 940 area code (also nearby) with likewise "personal" content. I wrote both off as somebody drunk mistyping the phone number they intended to text.
But then today, I get these three text messages in a row from a 561 (Palm Beach FL) number. Again, I did not reply. I'm blanking out part of the number.
I've been receiving odd text messages from random numbers over the past couple weeks. After receiving another today, I'm thinking they aren't random... but, at the same time, they're not "spam" (soliciting a service). I'm definitely NOT going to reply, for the same reason you don't reply to spam email--it might flag my number as "truly active" and start flooding me with real spam.
Any suggestions as to what this is all about / why somebody would do this / how to stop it? Have any of you heard of anything like this being used in the cell phone arena, or have it happening to you??
