I just received a text message similar to others who reported receiving similar messages from another phone number, which is a spam or scam or whatever you want to call it. The message I got was:
" Hey! It's Amber. I just put some pics on my profile at www.hookupincanada.com my username is Amber001xx. Make a free account and add me."
I do wonder though -- where did this " person" get my phone number from? I normally only give out my landline which is also unlisted. Unfortunately, nothing is sacred nowadays and we're all living in glass houses. :(
Googled the phone number and got this site .... http://www.callercenter.com/416-821-0486.html ....
It seems to provide a forum for "gripe" exchange but I wonder if they are the scammers themselves and this is just another way of phishing for your personal info? .....Or am I becoming too cynical in this Technological Age.
Okay the number is a FIDO number I believe.. did more googling but I'm not about to spend money on getting full record details for this reverse lookup company http://www.realphonelookup.com/results.php?number=4168210486
