It was just a cell phone number...You want problems? You should have it happen with your SS number...It did mine.
Talk about sucks!!!

Tell me about it... I was sitting home one day we had off work a couple of years ago and some 800 number shows up. Well... to make a long story short, they want to know if I am willing to make payments on my husbands open heart surgery. I asked them what they were talking about and they wanted my husbands social security number for confirmation. Of course, I wouldn't give it out but asked for the last four digits of the one that they had on record as having the surgery. Well, it wasn't my husbands BUT they had his address, and phone number associated with the account that was in collection!! When I asked for the birthyear, it was 1956. I told the lady that I didn't know where they got their information BUT my husband was born 14 years LATER and that he has had no surgeries. I then continuted on to tell her that is why so many people have so much trouble with their credit and social security numbers...... because they are given the wrong info and apply that to someone who has no idea of a situtation with their information!! It is SMART to keep a check on your credit information. You never know when someone else INCLUDING a business is gonna screw something up!!!
