Cloned telephone number

Hammy1976 — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 18:49:22 GMT

I got a funny feeling that my phone number's been cloned because i've had people call me and text me saying that I ve called them, which I have not. I have also noticed that my minutes have been going down rapidly. When i'm not using my phone.

My phone number is linked to my Google account. My Google information and password has been changed multiple times, which I had not done. It's been changed using my mobile number.

Not cloned but spoofed! Your no. has been spoofed, probably by scammers to hide their id while scamming others. The Number Spoofing Scam - Ofcom explains what could be causing this.

Can you explain to me why my Google Security INFORMATION has been changed multiple times? And I've even had spam emails sent from my Google email. You can only log in to my email account using my mobile number. Two-factor verification. I think it's called. and I have not received any confirmation asking to log in via text.

@Hammy1976 You need to direct this at Google, it’s their service you’re using.

As I said, you need to have my telephone number, which is an EE mobile number, to gain access to my Google account. And as I said a few times, I have not received any notifications, to gain access to my Google Account with my mobile number.

& only EE has your mobile no., does it? Everybody you've ever spoken to on your phone has your mobile no.

Hi @Hammy1976,

Welcome to the Community!

As @XRaySpeX has advised above, it sounds very much like your number has been spoofed which is why people have been reaching out to you.

If you get in touch with Google directly then they will be able to take a look into what has happened with your account, and how it may have been accessed.
