I had been emailing with a new guy friend on my Tagged account for a few days. He seemed nice ....had normal pics on his profile and had been a member for a cpl years. He sent me an email saying he was deleting his tagged account and would I give him my cell number so we can stay in touch. So I emailed it to him. The next day I got a text saying it was him but the area code was 909. I texted back saying hi. Feeling funny I did a area code search and 909 is a California num. I live in Ohio. He told me he lived ten mins from a nearby resturant. What can he do know with my cell phone num? Its a prepay.
With cell phones your area code may not match your area. I know several people who have moved and kept their cell numbers with their old area code.
Assuming that doesn't apply to your guy friend, the worst he can do is use up all of your minutes. Ask your cell provider if his calls can be blocked. If that doesn't work you may have to change your phone number. But that can backfire. Your new number will be someone else's old number. It may come with the previous owner's pests.

Had a Guy contact me from (904)257-6379 wanting to purchase my "06" Harley I have posted for sale on graigslist, he wanted me to via western union $900.00 to a pick-up company out of my pocket n when I do I'd get a conformation number to give PayPal then they would release hold on payment for my bike plus he would add $900.00 extra to cover shipping. I told him nothing is coming out my pocket he can pay shipping or meet in person then he starts threating legal action thru PayPal cause he already transferred Money to my PayPal account but my account isn't even activated yet so I told him my legal personal informed me that u r a scanner so u take what legal action u please n I'll be taking a copy of all text between him n I to the FBI office here along with number, haven't heard anything else from that number since but about 30 mind ago I have a text come from (909)293-8173 asking about my Harley posted on graigslist

I think I just got another scam for static phone could hardly hear the message. It was on my cell phone and days old so called checked message and the area code was for California. The phone number is 909-743-6270 and said my or my wife's case #7004227 and called back Saturday and no answer or answering machine. If it was a legitimate business I would image even an collection agency or attorneys office would have an answering machine. I am sure it is a scam and watch out for that one as well as these others.

Got 20+ calls from 909-271-9773, telling me the loan I applied for online was approved "by a company". Guy on phone said his name was Mark David, but I find that hard to believe as he had a VERY strong Middle Eastern accent. Also,I never applied for a loan. They quit calling me after I told him I contacted the FBI and have them his"name"and phone number. Stand up to these jerks!!!
I got a call like that in Dec.. Sounded legit, gave me confirmation numbers and all for a "free grant" of $20,000.00. I almost fell for it til the guy said I had to send a green dot card for $29.00 for a processing fee. Yeah right. Just remember "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't true".
