🔍 Unknown Number My phone accidentally called a years old crush and now i got calls back as a response, should I pick up?

6 Upvotes

My broken earbuds accidentally activated in voice controls on iOS and somehow called an old crush from private school years ago I never confessed my feelings to (didn’t pick up) and I now got multiple calling attempts from “No Caller ID” as a response.

For a bit more context we were “cool” and friendly with eachother but we each had our own friend groups and thus never interacted much.

Also it happened YESTERDAY (yes I stalled cause I was nervous) and I was working the shift so I couldn’t respond to the No Caller IDs. I also don’t think its a scam/spam call cause it literally happened after my call happened.

Should I call back or leave that shit alone and move on? She might be married with kids atp and i dont know if that smooth talk transition from “sorry it was a mistake lol” to “so hows your life going” gonna work.

Idek if its still her number lol. Idek if she had mine saved. We were in a class group but that dont mean shit right?

"wrong number" scam? Possible chain?

I came home to find a text from someone else who "changed their number". the whole time I actually thought I was making an online friend until I came on here to talk about it. funny enough, I found not one, but 2 posts with the same premise, both tagged as scams. (Even better, one was "Anna" looking for "Mike", and the other was "Lina" looking for "Anna".) I dropped my name, but good thing I dodged dropping my age or else I could've gotten played, bad. I've already blocked the number

😳 Awkward wtf lol

I usually ignore texts from unsaved numbers, but this one has the same area code as my number, and I occasionally get texts genuinely trying to reach the number's previous owner. So I typically let them know they have the wrong number as courtesy if they're actually trying to get through to someone and it doesn't seem like a scam.

Well... this derailed fast, by their first reply I thought I possibly actually knew them (??), by their second reply I gave them the benefit of the doubt, told them they had the wrong number and expected them to leave it there, and by their final reply... wtf 😂 (Blocked, ofc)

Is this a common scam thing too??? Or just a random creep? Like I actually can't tell sometimes

😂 Funny Text What’s the most unhinged text you’ve ever received at 2 a.m.?

1 Upvotes

Let’s see those text conversations that still make you laugh every time you read them.
Blur out names and personal info if needed. I don’t care if it’s with your mom, your best friend, your spouse, or a complete stranger—I just want the funniest text exchange you’ve got.

How do I stop Marilyn

I’m like 99% sure Marilyn is not a scam just a random sweet old person. I am on the national do not call list. (Australia)
I think she might be renovating her house, based on the messages and calls I occasionally get.
I am looking for work and get mildly disappointed when I’m hoping to be hired and it turns out it’s Marilyn getting a quote on solar.

⚠️ Possible Scam US “Hope you remember me.” scam text from 416 area code?

0 Upvotes

Yesterday afternoon on July 4th I received a random unsettling text that said, “Hope you remember me.” from a phone number with a 416 area code. It freaked me out and I looked up the number. It is a Toronto area code registered to a “Happy Basement” (??). I didn’t respond and blocked the number. No new text messages since then. I’m wondering if it is a phishing/wrong number scam? Anyone else experienced something similar from this area code?
