Tks.

For the States it's normally 00 1 xxx

But does he know anyone in that area? Otherwise I would be careful about calling an international number.

EDIT: I'm guessing 00 1 3152780793

There's a scam that sends messages or gives you a missed call. When you reply it turns out to be an international premium rate number, so be careful!

No, nobody. You see its actually my girlfriend that got the message, and it had my name in it. It has us very confused because neither of us have any ties to the area or no anybody there

I never ring any numbers I don't know back. If they want me bad enough they'll ring back.

Mobile numbers in USA are given the same area codes as the place they're bought, so someone with that number could be calling from anywhere. Do you know anyone on a year away in America or anything like that?

DJW11

No nobody

I wouldn't trust them enough to give them my real email address. But the site is verified by Norton, and they do have some fancy references on the top-right corner. So personally I would chance it with a disposable email address. If I cared about who they were...
EDIT: Only if it's free obviously. No credit card malarkey.
EDIT2: It's not free. danggummit.

Might give it a look, cheers

They might have gotten the number from a hacked site that the gf put her email and name into as well which could explain the name in the message? Hackers are getting smart these days so I would be very wary of ringing it just incase

If it's important they'll call back.

Otherwise it's just a scam, the nice trick about foreign numbers is that the phone company pays them up front and then come after you. Premium rate numbers in Eastern Europe were favourites.

And let's never forget the whole Band 13 Diego Garcia scam that Eircom happily piggybacked on.

The 4's a Fortune operation worked by having employees call mobile numbers at random until they found a working phone. The call lasted for one or two rings before hanging up, giving recipients little chance of answering. Instead, on calling back they were told they had cash credit and were offered to dial a premium rate number to take part in a competition. The Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) argued that these callbacks constituted a message and as such came under the legislation governing spam.
