Don't Give Out My Number

I VERY rarely give digits to dancers. I did give one my digits about 3-4 years ago to try to set up OTC but it never happened. Have not seen her dancing anywhere in over a year. Today out of the blue I get a text from a number I did not recognize. Let's say the stripper I gave the number to is Ginger. I get a text:
Hi this is Maryanne. I work with Ginger and she gave me your number. She said you might be up for some fun at your hotel this afternoon.
Hotel? She made it sound like she just got the number today. Maybe she meant to give Maryanne some other guy's number but gave her mine instead. What pissed me off is that Ginger was giving out numbers to other strippers. Anybody ever have this happen? Wouldn't you be pissed off?
There is no frigging way I would answer such a text anyway. Did Maryanne (and Ginger) think I would? I mean, it could be Mrs Howell that shows up, or even the Skipper in drag LOL!

Funny though a week ago I got a message on my land line answering machine from a dancer that I had not seen in 2 years. She was tumblingdice's ex fiancee. She said that she is going to quit stripping in April and just wanted to catch up. What for? She lives 200+ miles away. Any how it went unanswered.
goldmonger, my two thoughts are:
1. You are absolutely correct that it's a massive breach of trust.
2. Nevertheless, I think it's silly to be irritated or surprised by it... we all realize these are strippers, right? While it's a breach of trust, it's painfully naive (and that's the absolutely nicest words I could think of) to be surprised, and stripper-level poor judgement to give her your real number anyway
Hopefully it’s a mistake on the part of a flaky stripper. I don’t see any reason for a dancer to purposefully give your number to another dancer. But, stripper logic is about as logical as a random number generator.
I wrote a quick auto-texting app and flooded him with a couple 100k of texts over a 2 day period. The random texts from women I didn't know stopped coming. ;-)
I started trying to modify it to handle SA texting, too, realized the basic structure need a more flexible design, landed a SB I'm happy with, and it went on the back burner.
One was stringing me along for OTC but ultimately didn't want to. I dumped her, but we've kissed and made up and she's a nice girl so no harm done. The last is my past and now current ATF. We've done OTC on her first go-round dancing, but I'm not sure that's still available as things have changed for her. I'm good either way.
If a dancer I don't know wants to give me her # I'm fine, but she won't get mine until I do a background check on her #.
A bigger issue has been mass/group texts. I had one girl text something like 50 guys asking if they wanted her to come over. Like 30 of them replied, some more than once. On the plus side, some of the PL'ness of the responses really made me feel better about myself and were quite amusing. It was my GV number and I have notifications off for that, so I didn't notice the whole episode until a day later and only read a portion of the chat before I got bored.
I usually start out using my gv#, then if we get beyond the basics of just setting up an appointment I'll give her my regular number or turn on contact specific notifications for her. I've never had one that I've given my real number to give me any real reason to stop.
