I keep getting missed calls from people saying I have called them. Like 3-4 a week , i have had this number for nearly 15 years is there anything I can do?

Unfortunately ​@Liam Allen, sounds like overseas bad actors have been spoofing your mobile number. 

I also get these type of calls, but they usually stop because the bad actors spoof another number. 

See the OFCOM Number spoofing scams article.
