Feb 7, 2014 6:01 PM in response to xiroteby Allan Sampson,This means the person has access to your Apple ID and password. When activating iMessage on an iPhone, the cell phone number is activated along with the Apple ID.

Feb 7, 2014 6:18 PM in response to xiroteby Allan Sampson,A cell phone number alone is not activated with iMessage, and not sure how someone could activate iMessage on their iPhone with a different phone number from the phone number the iPhone is activated with. On an iPhone, SMS messaging is required to activate FaceTime and iMessage for use with the phone number.
Do you have an Apple ID and have you ever owned an iPhone with iMessage enabled?

Feb 7, 2014 6:25 PM in response to Allan Sampsonby xirote,I have not. This number could have been previously owned by the individual, and was recycled back into the system after they disconnected from their provider, and they are still using the number even though it's been redistributed. I can get my number changed, but it will occur again most likely when the next person gets this number. Would rather have the problem fixed rather than trying to pass it onto the next unfortunate soul.
