This happened ot me this morning. My girlfriend who is in Colorado sent me a text "LOL...what? and sent her a text What? And she said "your text at 2:42 a.m." what do you mean "Take it off?" and I told her several times I was sound asleep at 2:42 a.m. She sent me a screen shot. And I told her I did not send that text. She didn't believe me. Then she asked me if it was meant for someone else. I went to my Verizon store and asked them, they had no idea what happened. Then she found this article. case solved.

Me also but mine were emails. Personal conversations between people whose names I know, but have never met or corresponded.

The fact mine were emails throws some doubt on their “explanation” involving sms only.

I guess all those AI devices , such as SIRI, are getting lonely.

The issue was reportedly caused by a maintenance update made to “messaging platforms of multiple carriers in the US.” https://www.wired.com/story/mysterious-text-messages-valentines-day/

Probably part of the Deep State’s plans. Another mass murder shooting could be in the works.

I’d change my screen name too if I were you.

Just to be on the safe side.

“...third-party text message service provider Syniverse...”

“...Syniverse is a global company that provides technology and business services for a number of telecommunications companies as well as a variety of other multinational enterprises. The company began in 1987 as a GTE business unit called GTE Telecommunications Services Inc.

The company’s global headquarters are in Tampa, Florida, U.S., and it has regional headquarters in Costa Rica, Argentina, Dubai, Luxembourg and Hong Kong. (Wiki)

Yep! Your cellphone text message service provider has headquarters in Argentina, DUBAI (Middle East) and HONG KONG, CHINA!

So there’s that!

Heyyy, that happened to me too - some of it.

Got a text from a friend “LOL .. what?” apparently I sent her an LOL text at 2:15 am.

She showed me a screenshot of having received it, and I showed her a screenshot of not having sent it.

Good to know we aren’t going crazy!

“Then she asked me if it was meant for someone else.”

No wonder you drove down to the Verizon store!

I’m glad you found this article. Whew!

Fellow at work received a “WTF” text this morning about the same time from a text some 18 months earlier.

That one from the Deceased Husband sounds like an Afterlife thing. I know it would have Freaked Me out.

At 17:38 11/05/2019 I got a double Text from 1-201-389-9757 that both were the same.

May be a test of the EAS, in preparation for the round-up of DS and MSM.

Veteran's Day, maybe.
