I just don't know where all these strange phone numbers that shown on my phone, and all these unknown numbers coming from. I don't know whether I should answer them or not. Some of these phone number simply machine calls, and some of them left a message about this job interview or school opening. I also got some strange text messages from girls that claim that I chat with them online. I just don't know which person who knows my phone number and gave away to someone else. That just really annoying. Have that ever happened to you?

Be careful, could be a stalker or a scammer wanting something completely diffrent from what they are saying. Maybe they are trying to gain your confidence to get something else, something they might ask after a long time. It's very suspicious when we are the ones being contacted, it could be anyone and could not be girls.

I also receiving the starnge messages since last 3 months and I call the customer care for this complaint but they told no service is activate in our mobile. Daily 5 to 10 messages received related with health from TD-BUSMOS I cant understand what is this. I feel irritated because monthly 30 rs charged for this unwanted message. Friend do you know what is this.

Oh its so annoying isn't it! I simply don't answer unknown callers at all unless I am waiting for a response back from a job or customer. If it carries on just change your sim card or number. Its hassle of it all. Ive sussed out which is call centre numbers from private numbers now that I have had so many. Lots of companies are selling your number onto other companies which I think should be banned.

That's why I have two phones and two numbers one for my personal used for my family and friends, and one is for business, online friends and for some job that I apply offline that need my number to contact me. It is really true that they used it for some references to sell and promote products they have, it's really annoying.

I get text messages from random places and it pisses me off cause it wastes my text messages since I don't have unlimited. If the number calls often you can perhaps block it by calling your phone provider.

I don't know where you live, but here where I live it's very common to receive some fake messages saying that you won a prize or something like that..they just want to steal or money or worse. But, for what you said, it doesn't look to be something like that, but, if I was you, I would not answer this messages or answer the phone calls..one day it will stop.

It's probably spam scam, just change your number or carrier service.
