Been send strange very threatening anonymous messages on iPhone that I can't trace...?

Question

PLEASE HELP I'M ACTUALLY SCARED.

Today I have received 7 messages anonymously that have said weird things and include personal details about me.

But it's not a text message or email, it just pops up and the only way to get out of it is by pressing 'Dismiss'. It is untraceable so I don't know who it is. By the way I have checked and it's not a notification or reminder or anything like that.

Here are some screen shots of some of the messages:

In the first picture, it says something about a green door and my house has a bright green door which is unusual so it's not a 'lucky guess' that say said green door.

Is there an app where you can send these kinds of messages anonymously? Because my mum wants to call the police and I don't want to be embarrassed if it's someone playing a prank and we get the police involved.

maybe you should contact apple?

Answer 2

this is probably a friend pranking you but don't take a chance, contact the please and ask to report it just incase something happens, let someone close to you too, maybe even a neighbour know what's going on so they can keep a watch out if anyone approaches ur house. I hope it's just a prank, there's websites where u can send anonymous text so it could be anyone, but if it turns into something they can actually be traced to the person's computer

Answer 3

I don't know anything about iphones, but is there a reminder or notification app that looks similar to that? One of your friends may have set a reminder to go off at a certain time which would make the message pop up.

Answer 4

You should call the police and have them investigate this. Also ask them to increase patrols around your house. Increased police presence has been proven before to deter criminals from doing things. You should not feel embarrassed if you receive these messages they could be for something far more sinister (I.E. Murder, Kidnapping, etc.) you really should talk to the police.

Answer 7

call the police. nameless website or no longer, if someone is sending you threatening messages by that website, the region will likely supply the authorities the identity of the man doing it.
