Well hope mr car finance dude sleeps well tonight cause im going to fly first class to india rape his misses abduct his kids and burn his house down.

Jesus Christ. ( or eesa maseeh if your Indian) I though I was pushing it with my Nazi jokes. Bit harsh don't you think? If I have got nothing to do I just play with them, say I'm doing what they say when I'm sitting on my arse watching Rick Harrison sell some sh!t on TV.

In regards to the phone. I got a Sat phone for my boat 3 years ago. Because I haven't got anyone's number I just answered the call. What do know it is some guy saying I have a virus on my Laptop (keeping in mind I don't own a laptop). He wasted $2 of money! Could of put that in a children's hospital charity. What a low-life.

When I got my last Telstra phone, I quickly found out my new number wasn't so new!
I was continually getting texts from a series of Tasmanian cafe workers / barmaids asking me if I could swap shifts / cover shifts / cover for sickies etc.

No matter what I replied - the texts kept arriving thick and fast, so being the nice responsible FIFO bloke I was, I dropped the all the phone numbers on the table at the wetmess and let my shotcrew and drillers have some fun.

Pretty sure the cafe and pub bosses weren't too impressed when their staff all hung sickies at the same time, but at least the calls stopped

Yeah, numbers get rotated. When someone gives up a number, eventually it gets recycled and reused.

When you think about it, the people that give up numbers might be the sort that would be more of a problem for you. For instance, my mother has a sim with her ipad that is meant to be for internet only, yet she gets texts from debt collectors all the time. The best she can work out is its some guy from the UK that has skipped the country leaving behind a few debt collectors chasing him. All from the texts.
