Hiya -Just joined up and need some advice.

My phone went missing New Years Eve when I was out with this girl I hang out with, I danced and stuff, and we had some drinks, . I went to the toilet and left my phone in my coat pocket, and coat was next to this girl, and thought it safe.

When I looked as we left, it wasn't there.I was frantic, and looked in the bar again, and moved stuff and people to look for it

She said it would turn up, and it probably would be handed in. I didn't think id see it again, it had no pin code on it, so I went in the 3 mobile shop that I was shocked to find open the next day. They gave me a new sim...

That evening, the bar was open, and hey presto, my mobile was there.

Well since then, it seems everyone knows a lot about me, and friends and stuff have dropped away, and this girl seems to be very knowledgeable about what im doing, and who I know.

Has sim been cloned, hacked or am I being paranoid ?


Cheers saxx

If your phone wasn't locked, she or anyone else could have had a damn good look at everything on there, all your photos, videos, messages, emails, social networks, the sort of music you like etc. Yes, she likely would become quite knowledgeable about you, just by looking at the contents of your phone.

True, I guess what worried me is that they seem to have daily knowledge of what Im doing, and Im not too sure its all meant in the best way. Its worried me, but not too sure what to do, as my number is used for work and social
