Author Topic: Anyone else had message like this?  (Read 2492 times)

Just picked up this brief message on my punting phone:

"Happy family 30-99-50 58724468
£38.20"

It was sent from 44-7881-651319

Doesn't sound enough money to be some sort of blackmail but can't think what else it would be. Anyone had similar? If so, might be good to try and narrow down how our numbers were passed on

Cheers

Looks like a reference/sort code/account number/price,

Probably a mistake it was sent to you..

Looks like the phone number belongs to a chip shop in Leicester

In 2013 it appears on the Leicester Chinese-language BBS as a chinese takeaway looking for staff

Thanks for the replies. Maybe it was an innocent wrong number.

Not that long since I received a proper attempt at blackmail, so bound to be suspicious.

Cheers
