Is there a way to find who a mobile number than texted DP is?

I’ve got the number, I’ve added it to my contacts and I can see the image associated with it on WhatsApp.

I’ve tried to sync social media accounts with my contacts but the only one I can make bring up a list of my contacts on there is TikTok which isn’t not on.

Is there any other way I can find anything else out other than text it and ask (which I don’t want to do)?

Have you googled the number? Might be a business. Must be put into the search engine without spaces.

gillywee · 09/10/2023 14:06

You can call it with your caller ID hidden (iPhone)

Are you genuinely suspicious or stalking him and his contacts?

Merry05 · 09/10/2023 14:07

Snapchat - go to add friend from contacts. It usually has a giveaway.

Merry05 · 09/10/2023 14:10

also… can you get the photo from whatsapp and google search the image? That may be linked to a social media account etc?

PossiblyGoingCrazy · 09/10/2023 14:15

Thanks all some things to try here.

I am worried about him seeing this so probably being far too vague.

He has accused me of cheating before. It’s the content of the text not that he received it that made me suspicious. I’ve tried to tell myself I am being silly but it’s niggling at me.

If the content makes you suspect anything I would confront it.

however having been in a similar position myself I know it’s not always easy and sometimes it can feel like you are going mad.

If you are on tik tock there are several videos I came across where there is step by steps to help you access different areas.

I know you will likely get a whole host of - “no trust” “toxic behaviour” comments from folk on a high horse on this thread but sometimes all you need is the reassurance and only people who have been in your shoes will know the feeling. I hope you find what you need and the outcomes is what you are after

Thank you. I do think the trust or lack of is a huge thing to think about. But I feel like I need some sort of answer even if the trust is gone and it’s time to end it.

Feeling like I’m going mad is exactly it. Am I imagining this because he has accused me? Without that if I ended it would I always wonder if I could have saved the relationship? Or always just wonder if I’m imagining things in future!?

People often use a profile picture on other social media so could you do a reverse image search online?

Thanks. Nothing comes up the same. Just images of similar looking women. Maybe that suggests it’s a stock photo.

Have you put the number into Facebook?

Merry05 · 09/10/2023 14:30

I totally understand what you mean.

For me, the lies continued. I started to feel like I was going mad after I confronted some suspicions. After he went on a stag do, my DD was on his iPad and he hadn’t realised that his google account was linked. His recent search was “Std Test” “Symptoms of STD” I didn’t feel like this was enough to confront and needed evidence. Just in a weird way to feel vindicated. I managed to access his emails where there was confirmation of the kit being sent etc… long story short. I felt vindicated as there wasn’t much come back. Although I believe there was more cheating, if I had ended it without the proof I think I was very much in the head space, it’s me imagining it. Every scenario had an explanation.

What did the message say, and is it a UK phone number? I’ve had random WhatsApps come through asking if I want sex right now. It’s spam!

UK number (it’s on the 3 network) and it could be spam but it asked if he was with my name and another woman’s name.

Coincidence? More sophisticated scam?

@PossiblyGoingCrazy I'm involved in the scam baiting community. I have never heard of a scam that lists a person's partner and another woman's name.

PossiblyGoingCrazy · 09/10/2023 15:44

Well, I rang it (not from my number) and ‘sorry, the person you are trying to reach is not currently able to accept calls’

Google brings up nothing, none of those ‘who called me from’ sites, not on Snapchat. Baffled.

OP posts:
PossiblyGoingCrazy · 10/10/2023 08:34

Just thought I should update:

Put the number in Facebook - nothing.

He says he doesn’t know the person and doesn’t know anyone called the other name in the text. Honestly it would be less weird
if he just said ‘oh yeah Sandra, I work with her’ or something.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.

The fact the number doesn’t accept calls makes me wonder if it’s a scam. But something just doesn’t seems right about it.

Tbh, it's reasonable to dump anyone who accuses you of cheating when there are no grounds for it. Its classic transference. That's all the proof you need.

JimnJoyce · 10/10/2023 13:53

Try putting the number who called me.co.uk or similar

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 10/10/2023 14:01

I'm assuming you've googled it- if it was a plumber or something like that it should come up there. Why don't you call it from withheld and say you had a missed call who is this?
