What is this? Is it suspicious?

Mine and DH phones are linked and this copied item popped up on my phone. I pasted it and now feel sick. I went and asked him as he's in the other room watching football and took his phone and he's on a football forum. Is this just a stupid mistake and he's clicked on something?
Below is what I got:

MARIANNE

Age - 55

Nationality - British

Dress

It’s hard to know as he could have just accidentally clicked on someone’s post. Has anything happened in the past to make you suspicious?

FedUpMumof10YO · 21/06/2024 19:34

Hard to say OP.

Maybe some people can put a spin on it.

For me I'm not sure it's suspicious but be interesting to see what others think.

LittleSparklyStar · 21/06/2024 19:34

if You’re worried; ask him to show you the football forum?

Isthissuspicious24 · 21/06/2024 19:35

Nothing has happened but he had 2 affairs while with his ex wife. I honestly don't think he would with me but after reading a few posts lately maybe I should be more suspicious. It doesn't look like anything really though does it? Just random.

what exactly is it? Is it just a spam whatapp message or something? I get those all the time, just block and report

MateysMusing · 21/06/2024 19:36

How old is he? Perhaps he clicked on someones profile on the footy forum?

I did, I know what one it is he's never off it. I'm probably being daft. Thanks everyone. X

What is his reaction - is he trying to reassure you? Show you where its poss come from? Or is he angry / hiding it? His reaction would be everything here for me.

Our Google accounts are linked so if he copies something or vice versa it can paste to the other phone, there's a pop up notification first though that's why I went on to paste.

He's mortified and has no idea where its come from I had a look at his Google too and nothing so we have no idea.

Hrm, that DRESS category is probably the giveaway here. Unfortunately I dont know what it is but I imagine someone does. It's likely a profile criteria list but from which website???

DontBiteTheCat · 21/06/2024 19:41

Well if you didn’t copy and paste it, he did.

It’s a female's details and he has form for cheating. It actually looks like an escort or dating site just by it listing age, nationality and dress size. I’d be concerned too.

Walking12345 · 21/06/2024 19:41

What was his justification for the previous affairs? I would find that of concern. Although that’s from previous experience as my ex was with someone when he started chasing me. That should have been a red flag but I didn’t heed the warning. He hates being alone so lines the next one up. He chased his current partner whilst still with me.

Doesn’t seem like a dating site but the DRESS category does seem unusual and not a standard football forum post I wouldn’t have thought.

MateysMusing · 21/06/2024 19:48

Yeah I dont think it's to do with football any more. I dont know the football forum in question but its maybe worth the OP having a quiet look at it. There may be adverts on there for Russian brides (it's not unknow for them to target Western male dominated sites) and he may have innocently clicked on one of those then had a cheeky look around, nothing untoward.

I didn't think of an advert on the forum. I'll actually go and join it. It's so weird.
@Walking12345 no justification for the affairs.

Sorry MN LTB brigade.. but someone having an affair and/or using escorts does not have a phone linked to their wife .. it's spam ..

I got multiple hook up offers this morning from 'hot Ukrainian babes' .. I'm married , straight , 66 years old and have hosted a Ukrainian for over 2 years, who is now firmly part of our family.. sometimes those algorithms are crap ..

So would spam get copied from one phone to another?

It can't be anything to do with the football forum. Why would it say an age and dress size for an anonymous poster on Everton are twats or whatever those football forums are called.
It does look like dating or escort profile. So he must have been looking at it, whether the copy and paste was accidental or not?
Keep an eye on him.

Walking12345 · 21/06/2024 19:56

No one had suggested leaving him. But given his history I think it’s reasonable to be a bit cautious.

Pumpituppump · 21/06/2024 20:09

I wonder if DRESS is there to remind which one she is for late ie dress as opposed to bra or tee shirt.

ILoveToCleanSaidNooneEver · 21/06/2024 20:11

Missing point of thread, but I'm so glad DH and me are not tech-savvy. It takes us about 3 days to transfer our own data when we get new phones. What even is a linked account, and if someone copies something from their phone, how does it show up on their partners?

What I do know is that I get loads of spam emails with titles such as 'Hey sexy, I'm desperate and look forward to meeting up. My name is Bridget'.

Really hope if my DH sees this,he doesn't think I'm up to no good.

It's been Instagram spam, messages from sites, I have my account set to only friends can message, he has anyone. He said he's getting a few and deletes them, I just block them. I've had a look on his messages and there is the Marianne one, there's not a link or anything just details. X
