Quoted: If Google can't answer, I always go to the real world knowledge base: GD! My wife is out of town, sent me a text this morning: "Hi! I'm up!" There's a number on the To: list neither of us have ever seen before. I googled it and got a ton of conflicting answers. Some said it was an old Verizon number about getting a multimedia message. I'm afraid my wife answered some message she did not know who sent it to her phone. She's not too up on high tech stuff, very trusting also, maybe she got us hacked??? Has anyone ever seen this highlighted number before? Here is txt: From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2022 7:44 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Hi! Im up!  ...

How about, it is wrong number and do not reply. Sometimes it is a phishing expo to mine active numbers.
I got on yesterday that said just, "Hey!" |

Hacked, or she copy/ pasted into the to: line by mistake when looking at multiple messages.

It's just a phishing attempt. Ignore it.
I get those once in a while. They usually come from my "dad" with a subject line of "I forgot to share this pictures with you". No body text but a link. My dad is/was a cyber security consultant. He doesn't do crap like that. |

You're assuming the text actually came from your wife...from what I can tell, spoofing numbers is easy.
I was sitting in a hotel room with my wife when her cell rings. She looks at it. "Why are you calling me?" I pointed to my cell phone sitting on the end table next to me and shrugged. Hers stops ringing. Then my cell rings, and it's her number calling me. I guess it could have been a glitch in the matrix. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did she use the hotel wifi? No, she's at our daughter's house, using her own phone. I'm going to check her phone out when she gets home, she's got numbers on there from 1995 when we first got our phones. Like I said, she's not real tech savvy, and way too trusting. She could have easily hit a "copy to" and it went to an old number no longer in use by anyone we know. I appreciate all the help guys!!! |

Phishing attempts. Wife & I get them pretty regular. Just delete, do not respond. Or you can add the sender to your block list. Someone in your contacts list was compromised so everyone in their contacts list gets spammed.

When I was a kid (80s) we had a weird night where some glitch would make calls between our house and our relatives who were local. Our phone would ring and it would be an uncle who would swear that WE called HIM. Then it would be a cousin. Then a grandparent. Everybody swearing the other person was playing a prank. Went on for about a half hour and nobody could explain it. Everyone did try to blame our poor cousin (probably 13-14 at the time) who was into computers  but his parents alibi'd him.

Vzwpix.com is an email address verizon uses when you send a text to an email address.
Im trying to determine why that is there instead of a simple phone number if you are texting. |

I'll bet she's got someone's email address on her phone (from work or something) and she pushed that by mistake or something. Can't wait to get my hands on her phone, she's got numbers going back years, even dead people's numbers too . . . She uses that Forward, Reply All, Multiple people, CC, BCC all the time. I bet you are right. I think you got the correct answer there! |

I guess it could have been a glitch in the matrix. That could easily have been someone screwing with you both. There are places on the net where you enter in 2 numbers and then it dials one as the other, then the 2nd as the first. If neither party are aware, it is just confusing enough to both parties that one thinks the other butt dialed or something similar (ie. "glitch in the matrix"). I have a cousin who likes to play practical jokes who uses said sites often. |
