O/T Text messages

Post by wildcard »

I've been getting a lot of text messages lately, usually in the middle of the night. :x They caused a small argument today because my wife has decided I am seeing another woman. I have never done such and never will.
I have Straight Talk and Yahoo mail if that matters. The from # is always like this: 924-664-05. That was last nights. And it has a different womans name each time and a different web address each time. I've tried searching and the web site never exists. Just wondering if anyone else is getting these ?

I've been getting some odd ones myself. Strange number format like 918-767-07954. Always a blank page. I'm thinking it may be something similar to those online scams where some schmuck hacks into your address book. :x

If U don't text put a block on it.

Yeah...most gals are always ready to pounce on you if something out of the ordinary happens. I would take it as an insult to my intelligence that she thinks I would be dopey enough to leave my phone on and laying around in front of her if I was actually having an affair with someone who may text or call.

My girl has come a little bit unhinged with this cheating scenario she has built up in her imagination lately. She will find one of HER hairs on my clothes and I see her closely examining the color of it when she thinks I'm not looking. Quite frankly, it's getting a bit old. Then of course...it plays tricks on my own mind. Like, why is SHEEEE so sure that I am messing around. I mean, she is the one who can't even get a mile from the house without getting hit on. Perhaps she is projecting.

So now we just sit around and stare at one another with a suspicious look on our faces. It's a real picnic.

Anyway, yeah, if you posted your number to sell something online, that is where they got it.

I tried the # and it said it had been disconnected or was no longer in service. I use my text more than my phone calls. But I can't block it because it's always a different #.

Easy solution- Eliminate texting service for your phone.

Texting is just another toy for America to stupify itself with in the race to the bottom.

Just confess to the ol'lady. Tell her that you met a gal named Zelda and you are going to move to Baja with her and live off the money you pull in making sock puppets.

Probably just another scam. Best thing I did with my wife was let her leave. I'll never have another. That is what Cat houses are for.
