The fact they identified themselves is even stranger especially not with holding thier phone number, though I guess as Linville rightly pointed out its probably a spoofed number, its quite easy with just a computer and a bit of knowlage to spoof a number(I have seen it on a TV show about how real scum-bags try to steal vunerable peoples bank details)...things like how you can put the phone down, pick it back up and here a dial tone and think its safe to call your bank, but the scammers are still on the line listening in on the conversation!!
I know this is probably not the case, and I certainly hope not, but exploring all possibilities it wouldn't/couldn't be an old acquaintance or someone that knows you, or enough about you at least, to be messing with you in this way? I mean they obviously have your number from somewhere and they know that you have an intrest in such things...I just can't see it being a genuine iop(even a bad one!), you know how careful WE have to be with these things...even a scam iop you've never used should be a little bit carefull(though its still possiable I guess!).
Ok, so please I'm just shooting in the dark here so do not read too much into this...(Or anything else I ever say for that matter, not ever lol!)
But could it be a new weird tact from L3?! Again, I doubt it very much infact i'm prob getting into the realms of, 'just plain stoopid' here, but assuming whoever it is knows that you aren't actually going to try to use the information in the text to contact them as a new iop, could they have another agenda here going on?
Eitherway, it's certainly a VERY strange one indeed...Me personally, I would steer well clear, don't call them and never worry about it again!
(I would still like to know if its just real dumb, or something else!)
Perhaps you will get another text tomorrow from an iop you do actually know of, explaining that they accidently sent a request to the wrong person and thats all it is and nothing more...
I really do hope so, or some other totally innocent explanation, I know it would have me feeling quite anxious, and I guess it must certainly be quite disconcerting for you to...
