they sent me a txt saying "hi *my name* you there?? Have not heard from you in a while." I replied back asking, "who is this?" but got no response. It scared me that they know my name.

They used one of my aliases that I only use for signing up for online accounts, that's how I knew it was from a telemarketer. They probably only have your name, phone # and email address.

hello havent heard from you in a while.

Received a txt:
"hi Mike you there? Have not heard from u in a while."

Just got the same text, very creepy.
When I replied I didn't get an answer, hope my reply doesn't relay any information.

How much did you pay for the call?

Do you'all NOT know how to make a phone call???
OMG!!!!!
What is wrong with you people???
I CALLED the number I got the same text from, and found out immediately what it was ... textplus.com

You'all need to learn how to properly socialize in society - you bunch of wierdos!!!

i just got the same text and like you said, they know your name. who r they????????????

Just got this message:

"hi Mike you there? Have not heard from u in a while."

And you won't!

I just got the same exact text message so I responded via someone else and it gave me auto response that said " ha ha, if you want to know who this is you gotta add me on Y! msger. my id is nonnahal177.

same thing happened to me and they know my name

I got it also.  Very strange because the text said that he hadn't heard from me in a while. I don't know anyone in Indiana.

Me too, did you find out who was it?

just got a text from this number, have no idea who it is
