Ewww.<br /><br />Kristen, amen to the creepiness factor! I second that emotion!<br /><br />Lickety Splitter, sometimes back when I had a govt. cell phone that had to be one digit away from the local dealer's, I'd get weird calls like that. I always liked to hear their sudden fear when I'd say, "You DO realize this is a govt phone, don't you?"<br /><br />Harley May, you use prolly and I'll clobber you.<br /><br />Jennifer, I, too, think no reply necessary -- no encouragement needed for someone who didn't need encouragement in the first place!<br /><br />Tory, assure your hubby that I don't think there's any way Weirdo-Text Guy got my cell phone number via social media. It's just not something I list on any profile, public or private. This was just a ... well, a weirdo-text guy!Cynthia Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128418037470085123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292343.post-1416123249055026222010-05-24T15:15:54.061-05:002010-05-24T15:15:54.061-05:00Yikes, Cynthia!

I hope this creep gets the picture and stops harrassing you through text messages. <br /><br />This is the exact reason my husband complained about me starting a blog, but after seeing the response from agents and fellow writers, he's obsessed w/ social networking as well.<br /><br />It's a shame, though, that some people use these resources to invade our privacy. I mean really? A text?Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002374176500840411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292343.post-19681294160128011792010-05-24T15:07:44.019-05:002010-05-24T15:07:44.019-05:00Eewww.

Maybe I should at least alert my cell provider so that they can follow up? What if it IS a pedophile?<br /><br /><br />Karla, you don't have to worry about me replying to Mr. Weirdo Text Guy. He sounds like the kind of guy who might not be able to understand. Besides, he did say "sori 4 bothern u." I'll just forgive him -- silently.<br /><br />Linda, hadn't thought about your idea, but it's a possible one. And I will resist the temptation to latch onto your "even me" comment. ;-)<br /><br />Mary, if I had a Predators/Editors Beware forum like they do for scamming "so-not-a-real-agent" I'd do it in a heartbeat.

A new low, one that surprises even me. <br /><br />I'm with you--as satisfying as a clever reply would be, I'd be afraid of inviting more unwelcome attention.

I think if it were me, I would take it to the police station and show the cops. What if he is a pedophile, what if he is a scam artist, what if he's just a stupidhead who doesn't know any better. With everything that's going on in today's world, I wouldn't trust it to be so 'random'. And who knows, maybe the cops can catch him before he does something really nasty.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292343.post-730201832512768182010-05-24T08:56:11.898-05:002010-05-24T08:56:11.898-05:00Eww, gross.
