Reading the threads over the last couple of days prompted me to remember an incident that happened last october.
I'd picked up my daughters from school and we'd just got home.
My youngest went straight out to play and my eldest (aged 10) had gone up to her room.
On the way in I'd chucked my phone on the sofa and gone into the kitchen to make a cuppa.
When I walked back into the living room I noticed my phone was lit up and picked it up assuming I'd received a text message.
Firstly I was confused by the message as it seemed completely out of context to anything I could think of at that time.
After looking at it for a few seconds realised that I hadn't received the message, it was written on my phone as if about to be sent, and to my daughter who was upstairs. The previous text messages to we'd exchanged were dated a week before, and had no relevance to this. It just read (rather spookily) I could here you
Now at this point I assumed that she'd either a) picked up my phone by mistake assuming it was hers, or b) was up to a bit of mischief and had to abort mission in mid-flow when I returned from the kitchen.
I shouted up to her and asked her what she'd been doing on my phone, she didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about.
The more I thought about it the more reasons I had to rule her out. I'd probably have heard her come down the stairs, even if she was trying to be really sneaky. And, if she had to make a quick exit due to being disturbed, there's very little chance of her getting back upstairs without being detected. Secondly, why would she be sending this message to her own phone?
Thirdly, the miss-spelling. Very, very unlikely for her make a mistake like this.
My next train of thought was that my phone had been hacked or infected with some kind of malware. Security scans yielded nothing and there were no other symptoms to suggest that this was the case either.
Of course it is possible that either of these explainations could still be correct, all I do know for sure is that I didn't write it.
Just wondered if anyone else can offer an explianation or has experienced anything similar?
