Woman orders pizza online and later receives creepy texts asking 'Do you live alone?'

A woman who used her personal details to order pizza online was later sent creepy text messages asking "Do you live alone?" and "Are you single?" Kaitlin Reakes, from Newport, said she received the texts after she went to the Golden Grill on the city's Malpas Road on Saturday night (July 30).

The 21-year-old admin assistant, who'd left her boyfriend Fraser in the car, went inside to order food and wanted to pay via Apple Pay on her mobile as she was without any cash or bank cards. However, a member of staff told her that wouldn't be possible and instead suggested she order and pay online via their website - which asks for a verified phone number as part of the process.

But, the next afternoon, she started receiving texts from an unrecognised source stating that her 'new friend' was calling and asking if she wanted to meet up. So Kaitlin demanded to know how he got her details, replying, "Just tell me who you are or I'm not talking to you anymore - I've asked you three times now."
