What do you do when you see a Message sent from an Unknown Person?

MOst of the time, i will reply to tell them that they have sent it to the wrong person.. And most of my frenz are inside my phone list, unless they changed their number without updating me.. haha But there was one case whereby i keep receving a msg from an unknown number, and i CONFIRMED that the msg was not intended for me, as it mentioned about lecture in NUS.. For the 1st time, i tell the messenger politely that he has sent wrongly.. However the next day, same thing happen again and i told him the same thing again.. BUt so suay, 1 week later, he msg me again and i was so frustrated that i used vuglarities on him and told him in the msg that: Dun think that u NUS student means that your memory is so good that u can afford to memorise all the wrong numbers and disturbed others when warning has been given to u.. LOL ^_^ AFter that, no more msgs from him again.. lol

i had that many times got message from unknown sender whe i opened it my computer colapsed so now i learned how to avoid this just deleted it and report as a SPAM!

hi poohgal! i usually ignore those kind of messages. if its a message that says hi and the number is not registered in my phonebook, i would immediately delete it. but like you, if its clearly a wrong sent message, i would reply and tell the sender that he/she got the wrong number. if the message would seem as if the sender knows me, but the number isn't registered and looks familiar to me, i would be inclined to think that i have ignored the sender in the past and i probably didn't bother to save the number, so i would just ignore the message. recently there was someone who was sending me sms non-stop no matter how i ignored it. i got so tired of it so i replied using my chikka account. the sender told me he got my number from a money bill. i got so suspicious because i have never written my number on a money bill. that seems like a ridiculous thing to do. i was just thankful that he felt disinterested when i told him that i live so far away from where he lives. i didn't have to lie and be mean.

Yeah, I received quite a number of text messages whom I don't know or same as you, numbers that I haven't saved on my phone. If it's just quotes, I'll just read through it at least. But when some important text comes in, I try to text back but it is seldom that I load up credits on my prepaid sim card. Majority of those whose numbers aren't saved on my phone but whom I know of, they usually include their name in their message.

I reply and ask who the sender is.. If they sent a message to a wrong number, I would inform them. But sometimes there are people sending whatever message at first then when you reply, they want to be your textmate. That's the time I dont reply.

Well if the message is not meant for me and I'm sure about it i don't care much i just delete it off. I never entertain messages from unknown people o service providers to be very frank.

I read the message first, if it doesn't make any sense or it doesn't have anything to do with me. I ignore it. If it seems really important, I'll reply. In general though, I am considerate when I receive messages from an unknown source. If the person comes with a friendly approach then I would reply, definitely. Usually I keep my contacts intact, so the people I really need or want to talk to are saved on my phone book so I don't usually receive messages from strangers.

Usually I read the content of the message and see the relevance. Whwre i consider the massage a 'spam' i have it deleted. Occassionally i try to call the nimber of the caller but more often than not it is not rewarding

i delete that kind of message!
