Same thing happened to me just last week. I thought it was weird! The number was 929-425-3841

I think someone should contact shomrim to be on top of it.

Is there a way to let instagowns know about this?
Maybe they could track him down somehow?

I know the owner but what could she possibly do?

I had same creep call. He spoofs his voice. I got a call from 17327813272. I got text messages as well. I heard afterwards from friends and family that they got the same call. I messaged instagowns/ gown shadchan. No response from them.

Put a warning that there is 1 creep calling from several #s and not to pick up. Or just be aware notice. Maybe they can contact shomrim and they can figure out who he is??

It's upsetting that they're not doing anything, they should definitely figure out a way to ban him at the IP level.

On the other hand, making too much of a big deal out of it can ruin their reputation and platform.

I had a similar situation with something I posted on Yad Shniya. Said he was interested and then kept texting how we could see me in the picture (window captured my reflection, only a creep would find it). Kept texting me until I blocked him.

I had someone call about gown I posted and only kept asking my name. I refused to give that out if you didn’t even ask info about the gown. (It was from a Torah times ad. So no picture) after they asked my name 3 times I just hung up.

It happened with me too didn't speak to him but the texts I was getting seemed off just seemed like something a guy would text. Number +19294801438.

He first texted asking for a picture which I sent with my face blocked but wish I could take it back now.

I once advertised my apt for rent over yom tuv and someone called asking me what sizes the beds in each room are and then he asked weird questions like did you do it in a twin bed?!?! It took me a few seconds to chap what he is referring to and I knocked down the phone. I never rented it out in the end cause I was creeped out from this guy

Someone should call shomrim. I think they could eventually get to the bottom of this.

It may not be a local guy. But it's probably worth a try.

Yup I had the exact same story and figured out it was a creep right away.
He kept on mentioning he's busty and wants to know how big I am (what bra size) to see if it would fit.
Bh I figured it out right away but it's a bit creepy that instagown is his source...

Same. I know that there are creeps and keep my radar up. I figured its a male right away so answered him weird with every question that he asked on purpose.

Yes! The chatter was so girly. I didn’t suspect anything the first time, only when he did it again did I realize this is a big time creep.

He needs to be stopped ASAP. This is a matter for the police.

He’s not doing anything illegal by texting a bunch of unsuspecting women.

It was two different number by me.

908-516-0477
732-781-3272

Though I doubt publicizing the numbers will make a difference. He’ll get new numbers.
