Texting taboo?

Social media is awash with the latest fad...contacting your text door neighbour...yes, you read that correctly.
It was all the rage years ago and has recently resurfaced.
People have been sending texts introducing themselves to the phone number the same as their own with just the last number altered to one less or one more eg: a text from your number (hypothetically 07787 998231) would be sent to 07787 998230 or 998232.
Have any GNs received one of these unexpected 'calling cards'?
Some of the responses are, IMO, quite funny including the one I screenshot.
Definitely not for those who've had their humour lobotomised. grin

Me too - Barack Obama for text door neighbour - or Daniel Craig - or - I can think of a few ?

Think it's quite amusing, but I would not dream of doing it - I would probably get in touch with someone even odder than me! wink
