Have you ever had a spam call that was your own number?

Twice in last 3 days a spammer has called me and the number as my own. Even the area code the same.

It’s not concerning me, but it is something I have not seen before

Never answer when your own number is calling, nothing good can come from it

No, but I tried to spam call myself to get some info but it was always busy. It sucked cause I had a great storyline laid out in my mind.

I had this a few times up until about 3-4 months ago. Not sure what is going on with the iphone /AT&T but about 3-4 months ago just about every spam call now says "Telemarketer" or "Spam Risk".

It's pretty awesome because very few spam calls slip through now.

Yea. Spammers are just trying to verify that it is a working number.

I always thought if you called your own number then it redirected to 911

Yep, and when I picked up they said “Hi, I’m from the government and I am here to help.”

Yes. Apparently, I'm a real a-hole.

I am pretty sure most people have. I don't answer. That is the simple thing to do with all of these calls. They can disguise numbers but I never understood making it the number you are calling.
