Really scared. Can police track down a TextFree number?
Okay, hi, um I got a call by TextFree by a number I didn't know and I declined it and so they left a voicemail saying, "Why won't you pick up?" and they sounded like my friend Lena so I called back and so I'm like, "Hi, Lena." and the person's like, "Who?" so I'm thinking, 'Oh, so it's not her.' and then the person was like, 'Can I speak to Christie?" or Christina or Chris, I couldn't hear it well. And I'm getting kinda nervous because I don't know any Chris so I'm like, "Uhh, who? This is a wrong number." and so they said, "Is this an iPod? Because this is my iPod number and it got stolen, maybe they sold it to you." and I'm like, "No, this an iPhone." and they're like, "An iPhone? An iPhone number?" and they sound like they suspect me. So I'm like, "No, a TextFree number but it's on my iPhone." (because I don't have service). And I couldn't hear what else she said but she scared me when she said, "My iPod got stolen and I'm gonna track this number down with the police." And so I'm like, "Uhh." and I got really scared and hung up. I'm so scared. My sisters tell me it's a joke but it didn't sound like a joke and I'm Really Really SCARED. I made a new account so they wouldn't call me anymore. I don't know how to delete the old one… I'm really scared someone please tell me if police can track it down!
Well is the phone stolen?
Where did you buy the phone?
Was it off of craigslist? If so, yeah, it was probably stolen.
But no, calm down, the police are not going to get involved.
Do you really think the police have time to listen to some girl complain about having her phone stolen?
Come on. They have bigger and better things to worry about.
If her phone was stolen… She should have been keeping a closer eye on it and those around her.
Yes, they can be tracked. They track the number through the IP address and to the internet server. I have TextFree and if you don't go on your account for 30 days they recycle the number. You may have just gotten their old number. As long as you didn't steal anything then you have nothing to be worried about.
- Will game stop track me down? Or will the police come and find me? So I was at a wrestling tournament and when the matches started I was working concessions when I noticed something on the stairs I went up to it and it was an iPhone. I waited for someone to come back but no one did After the tournament I went to GameStop and sold it. If they deactivate the phone will GameStop or the police pursue me?
- When I get up to walk I start to feel disconnected & want to zone out but I keep pushing myself but then I run back to lay down. I'm scared? What is this? Could it be from looking at my iPhone 24/7 and laying down all day bevsuse when I get up I feel weak and faint
- I bought a used iphone and I'm scared that the old owner would track me down? I bought it from gamestop and since I know nothing of what the old owner of the phone is like. So can the old owner track down this phone? I haven't put in my sim card yet because i'm scared that they might track me down. Should I call gamestop & ask?
- How did the police track my number down? A week ago, i found a iphone6 in the bathroom so i put it in my pocket, it was dead already. FYI i have the same phone so i had no intent to use it. I put it in my coat pocket. This morning I received a call from the police asking about an iphone but i'm at work at the moment so i can't really call back. I realized I still had the lost phone in my coat pocket at home. It got me thinking on how and why did they get my number in the first place?
