Is this a phone scam?
Hi there. (Please move this post if it's in the wrong place.)
In the last week, I have received 3 text messages from a number I don't recognise. They say 'Wuu2 (what you up to???)
I've checked all numbers I can think of.
I don't know whether to reply asking: 'who are you?' in case it's some sort of connection to a premium phone line.
Or am I being too cynical?
Can anyone offer any advice? Is there anyway I can check the number without phoning it?

Might be worth plugging the number into Google... sometimes comes up trumps! Good luck xIf you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

Why would you even WANT to reply? Just ignore them.0 -

A few months back I started getting texts like this from some young persons who had typed in a number wrong on their phone. One came from a young female asking if I was coming out tonite to see her, but when I replied that I would have to ask my wife first she got very upset and stroppy with me

Needless to say they soon realised they had got the wrong number, although they were insistent for quite a while that it was ME who had the wrong number and they were dialing the correct one!:D0 -
