I got 3 bizarre text messages this morning that sent the chills through my spine for a while. I’ve received all sorts of SMSes in the past ‘proclaiming’ I’ve won loads of free airtime, others breaking the ‘bullshit good news’ that I’m the lucky winner of a pick up and others from super freaky stalker types(who should get laid/get a sex toy or take a cold shower)!

Today’s triple SMSes were from the same number and carried the following message… We have been send to kill you coll.0770050722 The texts were sent from +256755030878 a Ugandan number.

For a couple of minutes my head was blank, I couldn’t digest the message. Then i thought maybe a friend was pranking me (yes I’ve got crazy friends but not on a threatening/murderous level). I thought of people I’d pissed off/crossed and I couldn’t think of any names. So it hit me…I’ve received infinite bogus ‘you’ve won’ texts from foreign numbers. I love dear life and I was super pissed that damn extortion rings could go to such an extent so i called the senders,they picked up surprisingly and I gave them a tongue lashing in lethal Swahili but the recipient sounded mixed up(Ugandans can’t speak Swahili remember.)

A friend of mine called the number and a sheepish fellow on the other end picked up.My friend said she’d received the message and the dude was said a woman sent him to kill her and they should meet up(do they want to kill random people because they have no clue if their would be victim is a man or a woman?) Can’t they find /hunt down their victims? Seriously people isn’t hooking up for friends,people who want to go on a date …murderers and their would be victims?

I was planning to hold onto my ’suffericom’ simcard just incase they come up with a supercool tariff but at the rate extortion rings and freaks are texting It’s time to flash it down the toilet…or not. Take care now.
