text from random number about my ex.

[Bandito]

this morning i got a text from a random number saying "hi (my name) i have something from (ex girlfriend) i need to give to you. Saturday, January 25th is the only date i can give it to you. please keep that date open."

 

 

i responded "okay? sorry who's this?" never got a response.

 

wtf, this is weird. why would they want to meet up? simple to just send it, i'm kinda creeped out.

[d0nnivain]

Could it be from a friend of hers that you don't know? Maybe that person has something of yours from her that needs to be returned.

 

 

If you already have major plans, I wouldn't change them but if your Saturday is otherwise open, find out what it is.

idk, i have all her friends and families numbers. i have no idea what she would give me. its dumb that i have to wait a week, i feel someones going to jump me

[mammasita]

How about you call and see who answers.

[BC1980]

Based on your history, this could be your ex toying with you. I would ignore any further attempts from this number. If someone had decent intentions, they woułd contact you in a legit way.

she better not be messing with me. i don't get a response from this person i'm going to call my ex by tomorrow. this is fishy.

Now you're making this difficult. Call the number that texted you, end of story. Why do you have to contact your ex? If it's her wouldn't calling the number serve the same purpose?

 

You're looking for reasons to contact her.

Google the number - you often can find out a lot, especially about young people this way. If you come up with zero on that approach, run the number through Intellus. You'll T least come up with an exact location, phone company, and some other possible details. If it is a Sprint number, they won't be able to locate. You can find out who it is for $5 thru Intellus - it is an excellent service I have used many times.

 

Also you can just call the number after hours to see if it is a business number with a recording. Many options. You have a right to phone a mysterious text. If I received that - I could, as a female, be very concerned. It would definitely bother me. I would not appreciate it at all. Might make me have some fear too - cause it is so weird. I say find out. People can get very angry in BU, I wouldn't walk into any meeting with an unknown texter making such bizarre offers. Just my two cents. Yas

 

PS. My gut says she's effing with you. But don't take any chances. Find out the source of the number.

i googled it, it showed what city its from and i think it may be her cousin, which use to talk sh*t about me.

[ithappenedagain]

Careful man... She might just be toying with you to see if you bite....

 

If I were you, I wouldn't meet up. Besides, if you meet up on their guidelines ("please keep that date open") you are just giving into her more...

 

Put your foot in the ground and tell them you would rather they mail it to you.

 

I know you are curious to see who it is and what it is that they have, but at the same time if it was something important, i am sure they would get it to you whether you met up or didn't meet up..

 

Besides... They texted you that and didnt even mention who they were?!?!?!?!?!

[zen2475]

It's very easy to spoof a number. There are all kinds of free apps that will allow you to disguise your number when making a call or text.

 

My ex did that to me for quite a while after we broke up.

[organizedchaos]

I would say sorry, can't make Saturday. Please mail it. Don't contact your ex.

[Zahara]

Ignore it.

 

But I bet you will use this as an excuse to contact the ex.

[strive]

I'd ask what it is first to decide whether it's worth meeting up or not. If its not tell them to throw it away lol.

[Chi townD]

25th January huh? Well, I think you may need to be doing something that day. I mean, You don't know this person, they never identified themselves, they never said what was needed to be dropped off, and you don't have a timeframe of WHEN you're supposed to be at your place to receive said item....

 

For all you know, it could be three big dudes asking you to sit put to receive an ass kickin.

 

Ignore it. And don't call your Ex. Stay NC. Write this off.

[LostConfused123]

If you knew for a fact what the item was and it was irreplaceable (like your grandmother's wedding ring or something)

 

Do you know what it possibly could be? If not, then chances are it's not at all important.

 

I'm not claiming to be psychic or anything but I just had an uneasy feeling reading your post. . . just seems weird and even a little creepy.

 

I would completely ignore!

Best of luck guy!! Be safe!

[Zahara]

If you have gone this long without said item since you ended with her, there is no need to worry about it at this point. You'll live.

 

Ignore.

Honestly, if it is people messing with you, and you continue to pursue this by trying to contact your ex, you deserve to get your ass whipped.

 

About a month ago I got a text from an unknown number saying "Hey, remember me, we used to hook up". I'm 100 percent positive it wasn't the ex that brought me here, but it could have been a variety of people from the past few years. I didn't respond at all though. A day later they said "this is Simon Phoenix, right?" Still didn't respond and they didn't send anything else. I figure if it was important enough, they would have identified themselves, but they didn't. I'd suggest you do the same.

[Bandito]

i've been thinking about this all day and heres what i'm thinking:

 

1. its her friend, and she's just gonna give back stuff i left at my ex's house.

 

2. i'm going to get jumped. (but my ex would never do that to her worst enemy)

 

3. i get served with a restraining order (yet i never stalked, harassed or threatened my ex. just sent her those emails and drunk texted her a couple times.)

 

4. its my ex. she surprises me, and we talk and make up.

 

5. i go to the meeting place and get stood up. i end up hurt and played.

Fixed for accuracy.

Are you serious?

You are being played like a puppet. First you are being TOLD what to do by Gd knows who and then no response?

Who is the one taking orders here?

I know you may be getting excited by this "mysterious" text but rest assured that nothing good can come out of this.

[JDPT]

I'm putting money on #5 who is with me!?

[BC1980]

I'm putting money on #5 who is with me!?

 

I agree. I'm betting money it's his ex messing with him or a friend of hers. If you respond to this, you are an idiot.

[pickflicker]

I'm putting money on #5 who is with me!?

 

I'll take that action.

 

I would never respond to a text like this and I would never go to said meeting place. It's very creepy. Ignore...

[Bandito]

it is creepy.

 

here's what i'm going to do. tomorrow i'm going to use my friends phone and we're going to call this number and have her say "sorry wrong number." i'll recognize the voice. then wait the week out and wait for a response for a meetup time and place. then i'll choose the place, like my house so i don't have to go anywhere and feel stood up. i could just have them drop it off in my mailbox.
