Due to my mental health, I am extremely paranoid... and like two months ago, I kept getting really strange almost seemingly "coded" messages that I was really sure were meant for me, and sent by the government.

They had key words in them that seemed too specific to be spam...

And they kept coming in different incremented numbers. Example, Text from (555)-000-0001, next text: (555)-000-002, next text: (555)-000-0003... And so on and so on..

I was panicking, of course, and I tried to figure out what was happening by going to my wireless company and they were like, "Eh, just ignore it" and... me being me, I was positive that they were in on it too. I was already feeling scared of me phone being bugged by the government, so it did not help that the wireless company was so nonchalant about it...

I eventually told my therapist about these messages and she confirmed that they are spam. It's hard to convince myself that they were not sent by the government for me to decode... But they haven't been coming in anymore. So I guess for now I am safe...

Those mysterious calls and texts really f*** with my mind, though

that almost sounds like what people used to do with old landlines to find computers where they'd call sequentially until a computer picked up and then wrote it down for the hacker to call manually

I'm always scared that people are trying to hack into my phone or my computer..

Whenever something teeny changes, my first reaction is thinking someone is spying on me, or someone hacked into my stuff.

My PC, which I've had for 5 years now, started doing weird stuff and right away, I was worried that my security had been compromised and I freaked out and got really angry and really scared at the same time...

I can tell when my messages are being read by government spies when my messages lag on Discord. I say "Hi" to them sometimes

my phone will now tell me if it's a "Fraud Risk" or "Spam Risk" or "Survey" when an unknown number calls! also, as my hubby says, if it's important, they'll leave a message. and sometimes i've gotten calls from numbers i don't recognize, and they HAVE left a message

also, chocobo, i love that background!

[mdom]

We keep saying we're not them, but they're low level phone operators so I guess they don't have much say in which numbers they can strike off their lists or not

[littl3chocobo]

well, i don't know if it helps but you are being watched recorded and monitored just not by live humans and not the government(they just buy or look at data provided to them by google and other large data-collecting groups)

the data theft is much more mundane than t and movies. people are not trying to break your will and steal all of your money; computers are just recording every time you look up the number to pizzahut so they know what ads to show you and what coupons to cram in your inbox

thankyou<3 i need another galactic filter and sail al vie to make it look really good though
