Gumtree texts

Hootsmon

The wife got a text from a curious gumtree member on whattsapp or whatever you cal it and it spooked her......according to her she usually has to "allow" or grant permission for folk to contact her via whatshits but this message got straight through on whatshits......she has been breathin' into a brown paper bag since.....whattsup with whatshits wTFs?

WhatsApp allows users to send messages to others whether or not they want it.
What you can do is manage your privacy settings, and block unknown numbers when they send you messages/spam.
 Luckily there is lots of online advice regarding blocking numbers.

Don't get too spooked about it, WhatsApp isn't as bad as FaceBook at splashing your information all over the place, but it does need a bit of effort.
Hope your wife doesn't let it get to her.


Do a search for "whatsapp messages from unknown number"  and you should be better able to deal with it.

Wattsapp is owner by Facebook. If you think it’s not splashing your data around like Facebook, you’re damn wrong.
