Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

All of these are from the last 4-5 weeks. From text or the double call at once thing.
708-492-8946
678-685-7140
951-223-7382
561-876-0329
803-281-8211
I think these are real numbers to people who have nothing to do with whoever is sending the text or calling. Somehow they are able to use existing phone numbers to seem legitimate.

There could me more numbers that called too. I have had a big influx of missed calls with no voice mail left. Could be unrelated though.

Just an FYI, Textnow will generate a phone number for the user that is different than their actual phone number. Users are able to create as many as they want.
If I were to see a text now signature like the one in the first picture above me, I would avoid that person like the plague.
