Missed calls


I’ve had 3 calls from folk saying they’ve had missed calls from my number, but I haven’t made any calls to them - any idea what I can do to check what’s going on? Would be really helpful to speak to someone about this

Hello @Hilbilly,

It could be someone spoofing and changing their number to show that it’s calling from yours.

Call spoofing is used by scammers but can also be used by pranksters and allows it to look like you are calling when they are ringing from a different number.

 

The calls are not actually made from your SIM though. 

The only way this is possible is if someone physically accesses your phone to call.
