Question

I think my mobile number is being used by spammers

I keep receiving phone calls from random people saying they were calling me back as they had a missed call from me.

 

This has happened about 4 or 5 times over the past 2 weeks.

 

I can only assume my phone number is somehow being spoofed by spammers.

 

Any ideas what I can do to stop this? Ideally I’d like to keep my number if possible.

Hi @Freddy & @Pwt100 

 

Unfortunately there wouldn’t be anything we can do on our side directly about this, we’d recommend the following link about spoof calling;
