I've been having trouble with someone playing games with me.

I'm getting text messages flooding my cell phone using random phone numbers
with random area codes. The messages consist of several different messages
being used repeatedly. This is the second time this has happened in the past month.
Last time it was only 30 or so messages, this time, 93 within a 6 minute time span.
This time the messages were more personal, concerning my business.

Has any one else run across this and had any luck finding out the person/person's
behind it?

It also happened once to my wife recently also.

Go to your carrier or to the police.  I'm pretty sure what's happening is some sort of harassment.

Have you tried Googling or calling back any of the phone numbers?

Would the carrier be able to trace it since it's multiple numbers/area codes?

There are websites that allow you to flood text messages to people undetected, free of charge.  It sucks but if you're a target, you're pretty much screwed.  The website is being spammed on 4chan at this very moment.  You obviously have an enemy.

I had gotten a couple prank/crank calls recently. Done a call back on those and the phone
owner had no idea what was going on. Someone also used my number to make a prank/crank
call to someone.

First thing I'd try. It would help to know if the calls are from legitimate separate users or if the numbers are being spoofed. If the numbers are legit, but coming from multiple area codes, you are probably part of someone's Firemission on a website somewhere, and Googling may turn up where and give you an answer to why.

Best defense is a strong offense.

You're fucked, my friend.  I'm glad I'm not you.  Hopefully they get bored of messing with you.

Well, thank you for the honesty.

Now, if I find out who it is, they will learn exactly why I have the nick name that I have here.

It could be from anywhere.  One might be from duluth, the next might be from bangor.  They are random.  It's a really shitty website and I hope their ISP shuts them down soon.

Try getting a phone app to block area code, no id, etc.

I could try that but I use my phone for business. That includes clients from other states.

It's one idiot.  He'll eventually get bored.  Wait it out.  You'll be fine.

Doesn't really bother me that much since it's a once in a while thing. On the other hand, it has the wife
seriously pissed off. She's like a pit bull guarding a bone when it comes to me, and she's ready to
SSS someone if she finds out who it is.

When someone does me wrong, they have to worry more
about her than me.
