Put this in personal protection because it seemed right....
Tonight I received 4 texts, to my phone from a number local to where I LIVE, but not to my phone number. They contained pictures of creepy clowns, with captions like "I'll be under your bed tonight " and "see you soon"......
Needles to say I'm concerned, had a buddy run their number, sent them their name, address and a ID photo...
What else should I do?
There are a bunch of idiots doing clown pranks because of the new horror movie "IT" which is about an evil clown. I know there are ways people can spoof different numbers for the purposes of junk like this. Most likely nothing to worry about.
not advisable but you could text them back and say "welcome to my funhouse!"
sasquatch is right there are a lot of idiots pranking because of the movie "IT" I don't understand the application cause it is all fantasy and going around scaring people is kind of 3rd grade-ish in my opinion.
As a current LEO, we get things like this all the time. Started last year with the supposed killer clown gangs and it is being revitalized by the movie IT this year. The one thing I have found in all of these cases is that if you respond to them in any way whatsoever, it shows them that they are getting a reaction and they will continue. Honestly, the smartest thing you can do is ignore it unless they reveal some of your own private information that they are showing they have, such as your address or pictures of your house, in which case law enforcement needs to be called immediately.
Well I'd laugh it off and not reply. However I'm always packing when stateside so I guess there's that reinsurance! Not scared to vent a clown if he means to cause me harm or runs at me with a Ax!
id talk with a lawyer seeing how you now have the needed info on who done it.just to see what she/he says about it..chances are you can do nothing about it,as of yet..but yet.you do have the needed evidence if you can.but then again you do have their address.so you might take 2 or 3 officers with you as witnesses.and have a talk with them..in which you let them know,that you will file legal charges against them,if it should happen again..
So here I am, stirring my packing peanuts and diesel fuel, and the phone rings...."aaaayyyy Jim".... old buddy was behind the clowns, just a messing with me for fun! Yeeeees....
You could have had so much fun with this. I would have gone something along the lines of, "sorry i missed you, your wife thinks your a clown so I was on top of your bed with her."
When Osama Bin Laden was killed I received a text of his dead head. Oh, creepy. I don't know who sent that to me. Tell that clown to cram it! Give him some sass, Sas, oops I mean Jim!
Send them this picture and tell them you'll be waiting.
