DS is 11 and a couple of months ago he got a phone, on a contract with giffgaff (new sim/number). Since he got it he’s had quite a few calls from numbers he doesn’t recognise, prob about 2 or 3 a week or so. He doesn’t answer the calls and sometimes they call again, other times they text and say ‘it’s declan’ or ‘Declan here’, or today’s said ‘hi declan’. One last week said ‘want to meet?’.
Twice I’ve texted back and said ‘Wrong number’ - the first time they replied and said ‘someone had ma phone’ and the second time the didn’t reply. Once I answered the call when they rang and nobody spoke, it was just some background noises then I hung up after a minute or so.
I’ve blocked each number that’s called/texted but then a different number does it. It’s been about six or seven phone numbers so far.
I’m not overly concerned as clearly DS isn’t answering, replying or meeting anyone, but it’s annoying and confusing. Does anyone know what might be going on and what I should do to resolve? Should we just get a new SIM card? I thought maybe someone genuinely thought DS’s number was someone else’s, but they’ve been told it’s the wrong number twice and have otherwise behaved pretty weirdly.
