Text message from Chicago?

hey guys, its been almost a year and a half since ive been here (cant even remember my old username and password or what email its connected to!)

I just received a text message from which is a Chicago area code that was a "shared contact" (something available only for iphones?) And in the shared contact was no name or anything, just a google maps URL which leads to coordinates "41.082998, -87.267551" which appears to be a pretty green field southeast of Chicago... anyone else get something like this or is something weird happening to me and my phone?


Sorry, I posted this in the "is this a trailhead?" thread but if I remember correctly that doesn't get read to often.

The location on the co-ords in in northwest indiana. A little too far from me to go check it out. The phone is from at&t and is linked in the 60616 zip in chicago. Did you call the number?

No, I was too nervous about what it was. I texted back and asked "Who is this?" and got no response.

The only info I've found so far is that the "pretty green field" is in De Motte, Indiana 46310. That's to far for me also. Maybe someone on this board lives close to there

If they text back let us know

Who knows, it might just be the first drop of a few. Maybe a couple more closer to chicago. Perhaps it might be roadtrip waypoints?

got another one: "Didn't get a response huh? Too bad."

so either this is someone messing with me or this is someone who reads the forums. If it is the latter, it didn't catch on, please stop.... I'm a university student with not much time right now!


edit: ok got more, now its just annoying Confused blocking the number, sorry for anyone who was interested in this!

It was my idiot cousin messing with me. Thanks to whoever told him to google his number and thank you all for calling him asking him for more coordinates.

Mods can delete this!
