My neighbor called me this a.m. to tell me why the police were at her home. She works for an agency of homeland security and when she woke up, this text message was on her cell phone. It came in at 11:30 pm the night before.
"Stx posed to explode. Get in now or else regret it. Greg"...it was sent from a UK address and had all kinds of unintelligible letters after the message.
That is scarey and she should have showed that message to the police dept, they may have been able to trace the number. Some phones that arent equipped to receive and/or send picture messages will show only a bunch of decriptions and it would take another phone with the ability to do so, to show it. My old cellphone was like that, a bunch of scribble when someone tried to send a picture message.
She didn't know if it was sent to the wrong cell number or not. Someone at her job thought it was talking about stocks. She owns no stocks. I think it may be a hoax.
STX [Seagate Technology] is posed to explode [increase greatly in value]. Get in [buy] now or regret it [loose out on making a killing when STX stock goes way up].
The unintelligible letters was an attachment, that did not transmit correctly, showing STX's stock numbers to back up the buy suggestion.
Because your friend is in Homeland Security she is on the alert to ominous sounding messages.
The sender dialed, or was given, the wrong cell number. As far as the time (11:30 pm)--the UK is hours ahead of us.
If you hear what the police had to say about the cryptic message....please share with us--this is intriguing.

Those messages appear regularly in the e-mails I have. I discard them. They are spam regarding stock explosions, nothing related to homeland security explosions. Although you could be more secure in your home if you participated and your stock blew up.

Or is this just a hoax at random? However there is no humor in it!
