This morning around 10:00, I picked up my cellphone and saw there were 3 text messages that I hadn’t realized came through. Anyway, the gist of the texts were that my post mate, Barry was at my door with a delivery and that he would wait 5 minutes. The last text said the package had been delivered. The phone number was a 415 area code which is somewhere in California. I’m on the east coast. The messages came in around 6:15 this morning. Any ideas what this was about? Wrong number? But if it was 6 in the morning my time it would’ve been 3 on the other coast. Who gets deliveries at 3 or 6 in the morning? Was it some sort of scam? I’ve gotten scam calls and texts but nothing like this and never 3 in a row. What kind of scam would that be anyway? I just thought it was bizarre.
Mystery solved. I mentioned it to my daughter and she said Postmate is a food delivery service in some areas. They do restaurant delivery. We don’t have them where we live so I wasn’t familiar with it.
Some how my number has been added to a group text for what appears to be RAs for a college somewhere. They send out scheduling and meeting appointments. I haven’t responded because it’s still making me chuckle that some poor kid that is one digit off my phone number is probably getting in a ton of trouble for missing everything.
My number has been erroneously used in a couple of Craig’s list ads. The first was someone selling a camper and people were texting me to ask the dimensions. I played along and said it could sleep 6 but those 6 had to really like each other. The second time people were texting me about the kittens I was giving away. I just never answered those.
I just got a text today addressing me as “Diana”, and telling me that I was a valued Amazon customer, blah blah blah, get a gift card if you click on this totally non-suspicious link. :rolleyes:
I suppose if you mass text enough people, some of them are bound to be named Diana.
Mystery solved but area codes don’t really mean squat these days.
Why would that make you chuckle? Please just let them know! 
Good point
