know who I am! Doesn't know my name. He hasn't called her in like 20 yrs....

purposes.

because he resembles Peter Falk, lol. No, he doesn't know a thing about our trust.

he was amazed by digital watches, caller ID would blow his mind.

And I would soon like to meet his wife and BIL.

Check your call history.

This was in NYC, I was here in CA. All I can think is we have the same address...but still odd. We are in our 50s, live together, not crazy kids here.

... accounts for your phones? Could you have consigned on his account? Call his provider and see if somehow they have your name on his account. Maybe they can tell you how it got there.

we added his phone to my acct. We get one bill for both phones. But, I don't have any info about my family trust with Verizon. No one knows about it except my brother, our lawyer, and I.

Maybe your lawyer would know what's up.

he knows of the existence of the trust, he is in my will. I think I'll email my lawyer and see if he can figure it out. It's nothing nefarious David has done, it's some weird tech glitch.

that had that name/data on it? I would bet Verizon has picked it up somehow through your remittances, etc. with them. They may have set his phone up when they initialized it with that as an ID name for it for some reason.

It sounds weird but not too alarming. If you're on the same account at Verizon, it's probably a shared data type thing. I had a strange thing happen with Verizon on our shared phones, and they shed some light on it -- forget what it was, I think some third-party call or something like that -- but Verizon answered my questions for me about it enough that it didn't worry me anymore.

paid by check, only cc. None of that info was given to them.

the second phone (did you add a second line for a phone number for him?). Maybe they got that Trust name from your credit report...(?). When he calls you, how does his ID show up?

"It's nothing nefarious David has done, it's some weird tech glitch."

I suspect you cannot be totally objective here. Better to get the lawyer to investigate. There is a reason this happened, and you should definitely find out what it was.

I'm not being totally objective here?

but you obviously are in a relationship with David, and thus naturally your feelings, instincts, or whatever you want to call your judgements could be compromised. It's not bad, it's a natural thing. Better to let a uninvolved party make inquiries. That's what people should do in any situation that involves finance among people with close relationships.

I'm sorry if I came across as offensive. I was trying to offer good advice.

That could explain it. Other than that, I don't have a clue.

Same plan. He got his phone after my sister and mom died and the trust was established. He is in my will too. But even my phone number is not associated with our trust....could be though. That's creepy!

My brother and I are trustees but we use my address. The trust only consists of the rental property that David and I live in....

for the name the address is registered to?
I doubt it is sinister, but it is creepy how much info there is out there, easily accessed.

like that must have happened. I googled our phone numbers, the name of the trust, nothing came up. Very strange!

A few years ago, a neighbor behind me started playing very loud music with lots or base, all frikkin' day. After the third day started with more of same, I looked up his address in the county records, saw who it was registered to, and used that to get the phone number. He was sheepish when I called - he had just gotten a new sound system and his wife had warned him it was too loud. I complimented him on the quality, but asked if he could turn it way down, he said sure and that was that. No hard feelings.
Maybe your home is registered to the trust on the tax tolls, and that is where they got the name.

That's what's so freaky. And it only came up this way when he called his friend's elderly mom. Freaked her out too!

Customer Service. That kind of personal financial info., esp. the family trust shouldn't be id'ed that way as you know, not cool. Hopefully it was the one instance & you can resolve the matter.

But we should if we can think of someone to try.

My guess is that you will find the trust name on it somewhere, and that by default all phones on that account are connected to the trust name.

People in the thread who are suggesting you privately call your attorney are being unnecessarily alarmist. It's an amusing puzzle that you'll figure out soon enough, but particularly since every time someone asked you questions that point to the kind of link I'm suggesting, you have confirmed the link exists.
