I didn't know where else to post this but I am having issues with someone texting my phone and not letting me know who they are when I ask them. It's happened twice this month with different phone numbers. One of the messages gave me a screen name for y!. It is lilygirl746. The number that call me are 1-267-647-6277 and 1-352-464-8410. I normally would just not pay attention to this but the person specified my name and did not let me know who they were and I don't hand out my number here so I am really curious to know who is doing this to me and would like any input on what someone would do in my situation.

What did they say?

Can you dial them back? Is that an option for your cell phone? Do a reverse phone number Google search. Are they inappropriate messages?

It'd be better if you added more details about this. I hope they aren't harassing you. I imagine it must be really stressful!

I've heard that there's a way to block certain numbers from calling you, but I don't know anything about this. I wonder if anyone here knows something about how to do this and can help you?

Can you report this? You should especially do it if there's any inappropriate and unlawful things the person is doing!

Thanks. All they said was hi and used my name. It just made me uneasy because they could not tell me who they are and they are not ugly messages. I wish I had more information myself. I just pinpointed the area codes and the reverse lookup didn't really give me much info. I did call and get no answer of course....go figure.

I've had a similar problem a few months back. They would text my phones multiple times a day using my name and asking questions like if I knew how to speak Spanish. Call but no answer. I learned not to reply because it was some sort of spam, I called my phone provider and I had to put my number on a no call list for telemarketers and a few weeks after that it all stopped.

Yeah. I might try that if it keeps happening....thanks for the input.
