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

you were calling yourself from the future

The self calls have happened in Tennessee for over a year; before that a friend in North Carolina had gotten some in 2018.

i get calls constantly from numbers with the same first 6 digits as mine, but not the full thing

Not on my new phone...I blocked myself!

I had my own cell tell me I had voicemail. When I checked my voicemail, a call rang through to a toll free number where they said they were "Verizon", and were verifying I was ordering a new phone on my account. I wasn't getting a new phone, and told them so. They eventually asked for my pin number, and I didn't give it to them, and told them I thought they were trying to scam me somehow. They called back, said I called them, so they needed the number and I told them I wasn't giving it to them. They kept calling my phone, but I stopped answering it.

It bothered me enough that I drove to a Verizon store, told them what had happened, and let them look at my phone. They said the guy was spoofing the call through my phone number. They said he called me from my own number.

When they called the toll free number that showed up when he called, from their land line, they said it was a Verizon Sales number he had somehow spoofed, and they could hear him, but he couldn't hear them. They said they could also hear legitimate Verizon Sales people answering their phones.

I spent about 20 minutes on their speakerphone with their corporate office. We changed my pin number and did some other things to protect my account. I never heard from the spammer again.

Just before I left the store, a lady called saying she had had the same kind of call. She gave them a bunch of her personal info, and someone bought a new iPhone with the credit card she pays with on her account. Whoever did it changed the pin and email on her account. It was an old lady that basically got taken advantage of.

I finally blocked my own number. I'm never gonna call myself anyway.

I have received calls from numbers that were missing a digit, (xxx)xxx-xxx, usually from the United States.

What did Walton and Johnson say the other day...........I would never call myself I would send a text so I wouldn't forget
