This person who's been messaging me isn't answering my texts or calls.

What scares me is that I was at Target the other day and had 2 Target gift cards. They were enough to pay all except $ 2 for the items that I was purchasing. I didn't tell anyone that I spent $ 2 at Target, nor was anyone shopping with me.

Tell them you have reported them to the police and the police are working on tracking the number

That should do the trick.

I'm thinking about going to the police station later and asking if they could track it

My customer told me she had a bank card that haven't been even activated locked in a box in her house and she got money taken from it by someone in neighboring city.

So they have all sorts of ways but please, report it asaap!

Do it.

Too many crazies out there to not be proactive.

Be safe. It is most likely a coward with a complex, but better to be overly safe than sorry. ??

To get the gift card, do you have to provide personal info?

No the gift cards were given to me. And I did not give personal info at the counter. I just swiped my card and got my receipt.

Hm.

Normally I wouldn't mind those msgs but if I'm in a bad mood enough, I will track down their number. If halloween mood strikes strong enough then I will try to get their address and pull off some pranks. Like them, just because.

I once got a prank too, a package was delivered to my address. What's inside the package was one small either green metal shoe stand or mobile stand. What's interesting was, the mid part of he stand was cut out to make a grinning smiley.

But that's about it. Nothing weird happens up til now.

Check your bank accounts first and report it to

your bank since they know what you spent.

And report the number immediately.

Like now.

I would.

It's a Fort Worth number fwiw.

Thank you.

I just did. The operator told me that I needed to call my carrier so they could track it for me. I asked if she could do it and she repeated that I needed to call my carrier.

I called my carrier and the operator told me their service does not track numbers.

Both of them suggested that I block the number, and if they continue messaging, then I could charge for harassment.

Now that I've calmed down, it might've just been some fucker. But still, I want to know who it is.

But I took everyone's advice! Thanks!

Any guys you recently deleted? Or ended things with? Say....in the last 12 months?

Haha, there was a guy who's been trying to get my number last semester but he didn't and I haven't seen him all semester this year.

It could be my ex. He added me as a friend on Facebook in December and I messaged him saying 'You should just text me'. Thing is, he hasn't opened the facebook message and lives in another state now.

It could be these two people from my senior year of high school. I graduated last year so it's not too much of a long shot guess.

Could be anyone. Not sure.

Sometimes you can see a message without opening it.

I asked because they started acting weird after you asked who is this

I get upset when I text someone & they no longer have my number saved...lets me know how they really feel about me lol

Just a thought

The $ 2 thing is a bit weird

Yeah, I got a new phone and some of the numbers I had on my previous phone did not transfer.

I just think it's funny how they're not saying who they are.

And it is. That's the one thing bothering me.

Makes sense.

They might feel similar, like why doesn't she know who it is?

I guess but I wouldn't be a little bitch and start playing games.
