weird thing! i was chatting with a friend in private when she received a message from someone she didnt know saying he also received MY messages! how is this possible? I tried using another ID and this time, my messages didnt reach that stranger. Has this happened to anyone of you?

But I pose one question to you though, have YOU actually recieved the convo by this person? If not, he’s probably lying to you and you really shouldn’t worry about it. He’s probably saying this just to get you nervous/angry because you probably (not saying you did or anything) say something to your friend that really wasn’t supposed to be told to anybody else. But if he actually saw your convo and has a copy of it, possibly you may need to check for virus’ and/or spyware because he MAY have hacked into your computer. Not to say that he has or anything, but just a little warning.

One simple way to find out is to ask him to send you back the messages you sent to your friend. If he will be able to send it back to you, then maybe your system has a problem, it might have been infected.
Messages being received by unknown users is not impossible to happen, although the chances are relatively small. Nevertheless, it cant be ruled out.
