QUESTION:
"Wondering if anyone husbands has randomly received a txt message from a female about wanting to hook up along with nude pictures? My husband swears is a spam number. He called the number in front of me and the person never answered and he left her a VM stating he doesn’t know her and didn’t knew why she was texting him. I also txted that number from his phone stating that he didn’t wanted to hook up because his wife (me lol) is much hotter than her and he didn’t needed to look for something he already has at home. But this person kept txting and sending nudes (4 photos) and not acknowledging me at all and she also didn’t mention his name just very general txt messages about wanting to hook up. All she kept saying is I want this and that imagine us blah blah… anyhow I google the number and is from someone local! I have the address but I am not ready to confront this person. He wants us to go and confront this person because he says he doesn’t not know why she is texting him. He said he had gotten another txt a while back from another lady but he never answered. He keeps saying is spam. I check the phone bill and I don’t see he has contacted this person but who knows of via internet he has. I have so many mixed feelings because one I could go confront this person but what if they r professional scammers?.. I don’t want to put my kids endanger and I know I will raise hell. But then again what if he is lying and he does know this person?.. that’s why I am wondering if is possible to get such txt messages and be spam? Thanks"
