How many of you use facebook? Do you have your number linked to it? I got a text from this number referring to me by my name I only use on my facebook account. Just a thought.

Sent me a text on May 26th saying:

"Hope this is your iPhone. Have a good day my dear. <3"

I've no idea who this could be. New York city prefix, but that means nothing. I replied immediately that day asking who they were, but got no response. Then sent the number another text earlier today simply saying hello, but again, no response. Would love to know.

Also, yes, I'm on Facebook, but keep my profile private to all but friends, & even then I don't allow my phone number or personal info to be viewable (even by friends) & ONLY accept friend requests from people I actually know in real life.... but.... oh! I DID post my mobile number a few days prior to the 1st text on my best friend's old band's facebook page because he was in hospice dying & I wanted friends to be able to call & speak to him while they could. That's it! How awful of someone to take advantage of that. Well, the how is solved. Thank you.

But still, what do they want?! What is the point?

I got a text message with a link that said pencil box. i didn't trust it so looked it up defiantly not going to down load it.

Got this number from a guy online - seemed really sweet at first.  Sending me love messages, etc.
He claims to be rich, then starts ASKING ME FOR MONEY and gives me this number as his phone number, but tells me only to TEXT him, and NOT TO CALL!  I call anyway to leave a voicemail, and a woman answers!!  SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Also - "guy" says he lives in Maryland, but phone number is in New York!!)

This number often appears as the sender when you send text messages from web-based services. For instance, my email provider lets me send 50 free international text messages per month, and this number is always shown as the sender.
