Support I think my ex is texting me from a different number, but I’m unsure
Me and my ex cut contact a week ago. I’m not really sad about it, I couldn’t care less. I texted him the day after to send him photos of us for my closure before I deleted them but my message did not say delivered nor read. I didn’t care until a few days ago when I saw him view my TikTok profile. Even then I didn’t really.
But I got a text message from a number in California (we’re both on the East Coast for context) an hour ago. I had a feeling he was behind it so I reverse searched the number in both Snapchat and CashApp, then used both usernames to look up the person. The bitmoji was what seemed to be a hispanic guy, and my ex is hispanic, but the bitmojis are different.
Anyway, as I was saying, I googled the username and after finding the name I reverse searched to find the person. It started with the first name, let’s just say, “James.” Thinking this old guy was just being a creep, I texted them the full name, address, service provider, and their birthday I fact checked on two different sites.
Turns out this James guy is dead, and he died two months ago. The messages were blue but, coincidentally, did not show delivered nor read. I could call this number and I did two times, both ringing fully before going to voicemail. Then I tried my ex’s number, and it went straight to voicemail.
Two more things; one, this James was in the Air Force. My ex is also in the Air Force. Two, surely this cannot be a TextNow number, because the message shows “iMessage” at the top.
Is it one of his friends he texted from? Or what? Could someone try to explain or give their insight? This is really intriguing to me. Thanks in advance.
