Level 3
So are we three resigned to chalking this one up to a possible fake?
Because its freaky to say the least.
Maybe we should put it on the back burner for a while and see what transpires.
P.S.
Im changing my bloody number lol.
Tut, spam from Jess indeed!
P.P.S.
Joking about changing my number, just in case.
Lol.

modbod Mensageiro:I can view them fine
one last think, how many people on here can send an SMS without sending your own number along with? I can't do it and would not know wherer to start looking
Just pondering
I posted about this earlier, modbod.. Yes, it's perfectly possible, I've done it from my own phone. All it takes is a special control sequence right at the start of your message and you can make it so the server strips sender ID from the message when delivering it (ie, the operators involved will surely know it's you, the routing information is kept all the way through, but the recipient of the message will just see a "ghost" message, no sender ID whatsoever).
I don't know if it's part of the protocol per se, or if each operator implements its own sequence (doubt it, though), but it's the kind of thing that they don't really like the "Average Joe" to know about, the possibility for abuse is too great, so I won't post details about it, sorry. But I'm sure if you google for it you'll eventually find that info out for yourself.
The tricky thing here is that they didn't just strip the message from the headers (sender ID), they managed to introduce their own signature into the headers.. Again, something that a control command (or a web sms portal with similar capabilities) could in all likelyhood do.. Read the earlier post about the bushfires in Australia and how the police sent sms to just about everybody using the same technique (no number, just a name -- one that no one had on their phonebooks). In any case, if this is fake, then we're not dealing with your average schmuck, this one was pretty sophisticated (both in the obtaining the numbers to begin with, and the actual sending of the message so that it showed that way).
EnGhedi Mensageiro:nice way to put it: Jess spamming, 'cause that sure doesn't add jack...
By the way, this could be a nice way to promote truth and avoid fakes:
ANY MESSAGE OR POST THAT DOESN'T ADD PASSWORDS, HINTS OR STORY DEVELOPMENT IS A FAKE!
I conclude this from the history of true messages, they always provided some sort of story development, all others just confused people and reproduced what we already know. Furthermore, It could be quite hard to keep the fake story if in the future we end up having confirmations or denials from official sources, so eventually all you people posting fake messages, remember the mods here have access to your accounts and IP's.
I suggest kicking these people after they become exposed.
I second that!

I agree with him too, thats why I have a problem with this one, ignoring the password hint, its also telling us someone in AlphaAFK is a spy, now if that dont add to the story, what does.
Again I still think its fake.
