I've posted the whole description she put on facebook, please be aware. It really shook her up.

WARNING: I have just been the subject of a very cruel scam. I got a text from what I thought was my son, saying he was in big trouble, he had been in an accident and his friend had gone through the windscreen and was in ICU in a really bad way. Said the reason he was not on his phone was because it had been smashed in the accident. He then said could I find a 3 store and get a top up as the phone he was using needed to be topped up so that he could contact his mates family. As you can imagine I went into a panic, I then got another text saying please mum hurrie up, my mate is I. A really bad way. I found the 3 mobile phone shop and sent the voucher code. I then started to read the text and spelling mistakes and thought this doesn't sound like Matt so decided to try his number, and my bright sunny son answered the phone as he normally does, the relief made me burst into tears in the middle of the Harpur centre. I went back to the 3 shop and the lad was so lovely, he contacted head office, got the voucher cancelled and even refunded me. I wasn't worried about the money I just didn't want them to profit from their evil. It came through on a text service "hang out" I would advise anyone that has that app to delete it. It fair shook me up. I had visions of my son being arrested for dangerous driving and ending up in prison.

So I take it you have the number of the ' offending ' phone?
Pass it on, after reporting it to plod.
I'm sure someone will think of as nice way to tell the offender off.

Glad everything is OK.

It's been reported to the plod. Guess the response?. I would pass it on but would probably be breaking the law, then I'm sure the plod would soon be around.

Ask for a log and crime number!

I'm sure if you are warning people about spoof calls from a specific number that you are aware was giving false information, it is not breaking any laws.

Yes will do. I was unfair to the police in my previous posts, just bloody angry and no one to beat to a pulp to alleviate the anger. If I could find the shit I would do time due to the pounding he would get.

you would do time for someone who sent a txt message? that was probably generated in nigeria or some other far off country.

no wonder the country is in ruin.

and you want the police to help you.
mmmmmmmmmmmm

he wants it both ways i think

slates the police every post, and then contacts them over a txt message wanting blood.

Perhaps if you had seen my wife in tears over the worry,you might be a little more sympathetic. I don't need or want anything from you. If you bothered to read my previous post you would see I have apologised for the previous posts and why I said them. Your post sums up all that is wrong with some people in the police. Your pathetic.

Keep eating the popcorn mate. Don't care about anything about me. but some low life scum makes my wife whose on her own in the middle of Bedford cry and ask a good man in a phone shop to help her, which with flying colours he did. That complete ladyparts of a cuntsable needs to look at himself. He sums up all thats wrong with the police today pathetic twat. Wish he'd come to Bedford without his mates and have it out. Spinless twat.
