    My phone has been ‘jacked’

    I’ve had 5 unintelligible text’s form Sri Lanka today which I thought was odd? Someone I know then called me on my landline and mentioned my number is no longer in use?

    Since then I’ve had calls from UK phones asking for Asian sounding names and angry sounding people from Sri Lanka ringing and hanging up.

    I hope I’m not caught in the middle of a Tamil Tiger terrorist operation.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Maybe you've got a number similar to that one used by an international terrorist organisation and it's an case of mis-dialling on their members part?

      Could you just ask them who the flip they are?

        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

          I rang O2 who were very apologetic, they said it’s a rare occurrence but somehow they've allowed another number to take over my sim.

            Some b****** keeps parking their van across my drive too, I would go toe to toe and have it out with him but I think I'd wet myself.
