I have been getting random phone calls from other people. I just phoned back one of the numbers and it was someone who said I had phoned them first. Im not sure if this means that someone us somehow using my number?

Hi there ​@Neave Wilkinson, sorry to hear that. I believe this is likely number spoofing. 

 

Unfortunately, all we can advise is to ignore/block these numbers where possible, and would certainly not advise calling the numbers back, or answering them. They’re not actually using your number or have you details or access to anything of yours, they’re just spoofing your number, so it looks like yours.

 

All we can advise is to ignore and block if possible. We can also offer a number change it happens too much, but this costs £25.00, unless you have an action fraud reference.

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi Tyler,

 

Thank you for the reply, that makes me feel more secure that it's not actually my number. I will continue to block.

 

Best,

 

Neave
