Hi,

The past two days I have received a one ring call (ie: ring once then hang up) from this number: 00905432969483 Not sure where 009 originates from but it certainly is not a UK number.

**edit** I have found out that 90 is the international code for Turkey. I definitely know no one there! **/edit**

Also, this number has sent some text messages with the following details:

"Hi Viv r u ok.Im so sad! My heart so hurting!Imissed to my julie.Why she left me?I cant live without her!. Whatll I do now?Please help me I lover her so much"

The other is:

"Julie doesnt text me anymore! Iwas believe her!we love each other but why she left?I can live with her anywhereViv, I need her!I was think well mary in future"

Both of these messages are clearly written by someone with absolutely no grasp of english. My name is not viv by the way!

Is there a way of tracking the telephone number? I suspect if I call it or text it I'll be charged some phenominal rate!

Watch out guys!

Steve

My wife kept getting calls from an overseas number and they left numerous voicemails that made no sense to her or me.

They would often ring 4 or 5 times a day (until answered) not 1 ring, even though my wife hadn't responded to earlier calls/messages.

In the end they gave up.

You might be able to speak to your network carrier and ask them to bar it, although I have not done this.

My advice (which I think you are already thinking) is don't phone them or reply to the message incase it is a scam.

May be harmless and they have met a UK person and have the wrong number.

Good luck with whatever you do.

Thanks for bringing it to the attention of the forum as it could be a scam.
