Call backs

I keep getting calls from people saying I have called them and they are returning the call. Problem is I haven't called them. I have had some real issues with people arguing with me saying, ' you've just called me, I ve a missed call from this number' .This is amounting to several calls a day.

Is it possible that your phone is pocket dialling the number?

Are these people in your contacts list or just random people?

Are their numbers showing under recent calls list?

Spammers do this as they are spoofing your number to plague peopkle with calls and they make it look like the number has come from people like you. I don't think there is anything you can do bar ignore calls from numbers you do not recognise and perhaps block them.

Re: Call backs

I'm having people call me telling me I've called them when I certainly haven't nothing in my call logs I did check just in case I pocket dialled but I didn't how do these people get our numbers in the first place? And I think there needs to be something in place to stop these calls

As below, spammers spoof any landline,or mobile number they choose, to avoid disclosing their own, or being easily traced. It looks like a spammer happens to have spoofed your number. They don't get your number, or any number specifically, they,simply make one up randomly.

Re: Call backs

I'm also having this same issue it's constant and annoying for me and for the people receiving the calls. I've had one person telling me that he has had conversations with his sister in this number meaning my number.? Imagine my wife's face hearing that call. I carried my number over from my old provider so I'm wondering has there been a glitch somewhere?
