You Sure I'm Your Daddy?

I had the wrong person on msn messenger once, but it wasn't a funny conversation. Too bad...

Well, here in the Philippines. the most common wrong message you'll get is a scam message saying you have won a million and you have to send them prepaid cards to claim the price. Other message i received was saying that she is a relative abroad that needs prepaid load to send back the tracking number of a package or a sent money. Some of our kabayans (Filipinoes) have fallen into these scams. I think now that these cases have been reported on TV, others would learn from these~!

I dont txt but a few months ago got a phone call on my cell abouyt 2 am say momma I am here in the casino where are you? I dad to tell the drunk girl she had wrong no but she kept calling me think I finally go thru to her that I wasnt her momma and she had the wrong no! oops!

What happened if your wife has seen the message? She would have fainted thinking that you have a love child! I have never experienced receiving strange messages in my cell phone.

hi neildc! that's so funny. thanks for sharing, daddy. remember to pay for my bills too.

hello neil, I had same experience like this,but not a funny one. I received a message saying "ma,we had an accident,the vehicle i am riding was hit and we are here at the hospital,my mobile is missing and i just asks someone to let me text you,pls put load to this number so i can call you...i am badly hurt " Gosh,i am in a meeting that time and it just happen it was break time(around 3pm) My mind really get panicky and looking at the time,my mind's wondering,who among my kids is heading home by this time? uh uh...my daughter,yah,it could be my daughter. Just the thought that it could be my daughter,i dialed her number and to my relief it is ringing(oh God,maybe someone had picked up my daughter's mobile since the text says her mobile is missing) Then,i received a reply from the other end...oh!...it's my daughter,and so i asked her...what happened?...did you find your mobile?...or,is it your brother who had an accident? My daughter says "whatttttt??????????" Yah..."whattttttttttttt" as an answer...what whattttttttttt? i replied back. Then my daughter says...i am at home now doing my homework and my brother is already sleeping when i arrived home...so what are you asking if we had an accident mom? Ok...my kids were fine...i called back the number that texted me,it is only ringing and no one is answering. Just i thought about the load that the texter is asking me to send...aha...so,it's a modus...grrrrr... Luckily i was not victimized then.(ugh!!!)

It seems that there are quite a few text messages like this roaming around. I got one two days ago where the texter said that it was his new roaming number and that I should send prepaid credits worth P500 and that he will send money the following week. Now, since I know of no one who will text such nonsense, I replied back with this message: What do you mean you're sending money next week? Your children need the money NOW! And you have the guts to change numbers and ask for load? SEND MONEY NOW! Needless to say I never got any replies back .

I haven't (Yet!) had anything like this happen to me on my cellphone,but I've had one or 2 wrong numbers leaving messages on my landline answering machine,(I've never yet bothered putting a personalised message on the machine,so callers get a generic mystery voice asking them to leave a message..),the messages left are intended obviously for somebody else,but I get no return contact info from them,so just end up deleting them..

It always happen to me. I received a message from anonymous. When only number is show up on my mobile phone, it means it is not registered on my phone, so it is a new number and the owner of that number , is a stranger. Someone texted me before telling me she already arrived at the meeting place. I ask her who she was and she said she was Bing my friend. In real, I don’t have a friend named Bing. So I instantly replied that I was not the friend she knew, and she replied like this “what, I only gone to Australia and you don’t know me now” so I just laugh and I adviced her to call me and to hear my voice just to prove I was telling truth. She did and she apologize. Actually her and her friend Bing did not got the chance to meet since she lost the number, she did not remember the last digit of the number that is why she dialed mine. What a twist of fate.

They must have been embarrassed. ;o) Well, luckily (hopefully) it wasn't a hacker or like one of those spam email people who try to get you to pay them. But I would have been blushing if it was me (who misdialed). :o)

hi neildc well this was not a text message it was on the keypad at the pedestrian gate at our locked down apartment complex long before the eviction. I got this message on my phone, mommy please let me in , I cant find my key, mom please, I said, honey I am not your mom you must have hit the wrong number but I will press 9 and let you in,now go to the gate and it will open when I hit 9. so I held it down a long time then I went out to the walkway to see if he got through and i saw him run offto his apartment and watched as an elderly woman let him in, I heard him say, "grammie a strange lady let me in, I got the wrong numbers grammie" so he got in okay. poor kid he looked about five or six at the most.\ He sounded so scared and so little. wow.

When I came back to live with my daughter I had phone service from the cable company. They had given me a number that had belonged to a woman that I guess was in financial trouble and we started getting all kinds of calls from mediators and her credit card companies and all like that. I was at first wondering why in the world these people were calling me and then I realized what the problem was. It was hard, frustrating and even alittle at first but now we don't get many calls for her at all.

Glad the kid realised the message was sent to the wrong number! I had an amusing incident while on the phone to my friend once. We were chatting about boyfriends etc, this is before either of us was married. It turned out that both of us had been given a hard time by a couple of guys who both happened to be born under the sign of Leo. We were big on astrology in those days and we spent an hour discussing how much we hated Leo traits! Suddenly a male voice piped up and said hello. We both got startled and asked who this was and he replied with his name and continued to say that he was really glad he was not a Leo! We apparently had a cross line and this guy had been sitting there listening to our conversation for ages! We promptly told him to hang up or else!

hey.. how r u.. do u remember me... why no msgs for a long time? this was the msg i got one day from an unknown no.. i thought it was one of my friend and thought that i have deleted his/her number from my phonebook.. so i replied "im fine, how about you and by the way whose this?" a reply came.. "its me pooja/f/21/chennai... and you?" i was litterally confused and my mind started flooding with doubts.. finally i found out that she was randomly msging everyone to get guys for timepassing.. finally i didnt understand whether to laugh or blast her off..

I have received text messages that weren't meant for me from time to time. But the most memorable ones were two right in a roll. I received a message something to the extent of "Hey hot thing, how are you this morning", from one number. And then, not too long after that, something very similar from another number. I hadn't responded to the first one, but after the second one, I decided to call the first number back. It turned out, some gal was at a bar the night before, and giving out a false number to guys. The number, just happened to be mine. When I called the second guy back, he was in the room with the first guy, and said "Nevermind, I just heard the previous conversation with my friend." I think it is rude for people to give out fake numbers like this. Why can't they just tell someone that they aren't interested. Plus, at the time, I didn't get free incoming text messenging. So I was getting charged for those texts. However, I did get a pretty good kick out of, so it didn't really bother me too much.

Hi neil, I have received some greetings for different occasions. The person clearly saluted the person and his family and then wrote the greetings then at the end, the sender’s name was also there. So I am sure that somebody wrongly sends to my number so I just deleted it. The greetings came for the particular person 3-4 times on different celebrations then I think the sender realized that it is going on wrong number. Then I got some details of bank credit card, as your credit card is ready something like that… Finally I got a love message in Hindi, which was very romantic and there was no salutation or name included. The number was unknown to me like earlier cases….but it was a local number so I called up to that number…. The sender apologized me as it gone to the wrong number..

Oh the poor girl or guy! I am sure it was embarrassing to accidentally send the message to the wrong number! hehe! Well Let's see I can't think of anything really!

That is funny. It would have been a huge laugh over at my house if that happened. I think just when people call for someone who doesn't live here if they are repeat offenders I just go along with it. I always get calls for some Sarah girl. I must have her old number or a number close to hers. Always drunk people in the middle of the night.

Hi Neil, Many years ago before the mobile phone was ever invented, lol! that sounds anciant, when iwas living at home with my mothere, I had this phone call someone whose name I know, then he was clling me by my name, so we chatted, he was saying how sorry he was for walling out on me the night before, now at this point I was confused, so I told him I have not seen him for many months, well it turned out that we were both talking to the wrong party here and we had a good laugh, he asked me if he could call again, and I said yes, four months on, we became good friends and even went to his wedding with this girl that had the same name as myself, that was very strage thing to have happened, what a way to make friends, lol! Hugs. Tamara

I almost receive this kind of messages every day.When I was 16 years old,I got my first mobile phone.And this is the first time I receive this kind of message.I immediately realize that it is not true.Because the message asked me to send some money to an account directly.No one will believe a message like that.
