For the past couple of months, I have received texts and the occasional call from unknown people. These people are texting someone they clearly know (and from the content, I believe this may be a dealer). From the texts, I have learned that these people are in Scotland as addresses were given out. I am in Yorkshire.
I think someone has somehow cloned my number or something. I cannot see any replies from whoever they are contacting, but i get their texts to them like a one sided conversation.
I ignore these messages and any calls from numbers outside my contact list. However, some can be quite persistent and demand replies.
I have spoken to the O2 live chat and they said all I can do is change my number. I've had this number for 15 years and due to my partner being under numerous health services, i do not wish to go through the pain of informing so many people and services of a number change when this is not my fault.
How can I prevent this occurring other than blocking each and every number when it comes through or changing my number?
