Hi , can anybody help me please ?

My mum's had a text twice from the same number saying she owes money to them.

She wont be told to ignore it.

I have had her text me the number its a mobile number.

Is there any way i can find out whose number it is ?

Thanks

Not unless it's a known spammer and comes up with a Google search.

 

She really needs to ignore it.

 

She could also forward it to 7726 where it should be investigated.

Thank's Perksie ... I have googled the number and it comes up not known.

She 81 and wont be told to ignore it. Will read about this spam thing and tell her to do that.

Thanks again

If you can get your mum to listen to you, get her to read this. Might help her understand why this is happening. http://ico.org.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/marketing/texts

This could be classed as harassment depending on how the texts are worded you could involve the police
