Freaky Thing Happened

A freaky thing happened to me yesterday. Let me provide some context by going back a bit further.

I got this cell phone (droid) and new phone number a couple of months ago. I have since gotten one or two wrong numbers which is no shocker since I'm guessing my phone number used to belong to someone else. I also signed up for no text plan which means I pay .20 per text.

A few days ago I got a text from a number I did not recognize (area code apparently is Orlando), saying something like "Don't text and drive, pass this on to all your friends." I just ignored it.

Yesterday morning I get a text wishing me a happy birthday from the same number (it isn't my birthday as my tl account will verify). Then a few hours later I got a call from them. I picked it up and there was some really strange singing of happy birthday (maybe a recording) followed by some girl saying a name with an upward inflection, trying to see if the person she was wishing a happy birthday to was still on the phone. So after listening to 30 seconds of madness and respond "I think you have the wrong number" and she pauses a bit and then hang up. So far this isn't all that odd.

A few minutes later I check the mail, and there's a card to my address except nobody lives here by the name it's made out to. Inside is a birthday card. The return address is in Brooklyn, NY.

I'm 99% sure it's a pure coincidence that these both happened on the same day, but the timing is just unreal...

How could these be connected?

edit: oh yeah and someone told me you don't pay for received texts unless you actually read them. Is this true?

I'm pretty sure you have a ghost. Go see if the Ghost Hunters will be willing to help you out.

Someone clearly tracked your phone to your apartment thinking you were the original owner. Now they are out to get you, good look.

That's pretty weird. But happy b-day micronesia!

The other day I had some drunk guy repeatedly calling me telling me to stop f^*&ing calling him even though I'd never dialed him... And I've had this number for years.

An interesting tale, micronesia. I'll keep that in mind.
I do not know about the texting, though I believe that this is true.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Some middle-aged eastern European woman called me telling me to stop sexually harassing her by phone even though I've had my number for a while now, so I think she might have just been a troll.

I'd be so paranoid if something like that happened to me. About the texting charge, I use ATT and don't get charged for texts unless I open them, but my friends with other service providers get charged regardless.

Over here we only pay to send texts - never to receive or read them.

he probably doesn't have unlimited texting. if you don't have it, you pay for all sent and received msgs. i think the rate is like 10 cents receiving and 20 cents sending.

Happy Birthday, SIR! *ominous nod*
if everythings coming your way, youre in the wrong lane. sAviOr 4evar!
