I think my co workers are messing with me. I called them on it and they just paint me crazy. For example, ever since I got my cellphone I've been getting calls and texts at all hours of the day for someone named X, I assumed it was a different spelling I was going to contact this person to stop using my cell number to give out to people. I didn't find anyone by that name. My mom recently told me it was spelled differently and what are the odds that a co worker who has a daughter who is also a co workers name is the first one to pop up. There was one other person, but this was in another state. The calls have largely stopped due to me blocking them. I only gave my number to three people, I really would like to do something about this. I never talk to this person or work with them much. I know I've posted on this before, but I finally have something kind of tangible, and wanted to know if this is something I should be concerned over or am I seeing more into this than I should?

I get strange cell phone calls all of the time. Once you give up a phone number, like when you move, it is usually just assigned to someone else.

I even had someone call me and demand "who is this???" ---I didn't call this person, not even by accidental "butt dialing". My phone history had no record of me making any unknown calls. So strange cell phone stuff is common, no worries.

At this point I wouldn't be overly concerned. Like the other poster wrote, calls to the wrong phone number are common. However, don't mention the calls at work; if people you know are behind it, you'd don't want to give them the satisfaction that you were annoyed.
Thanks for this!

Cell phone numbers get re-used, just like regular numbers. I would call/go to your cell provider and get a new number (if you have only given the number out to 3 people).

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
