I am getting calls every other day from different mobile numbers that I don't recognise.
When I text back and ask who it is or in one case answered the phone, the other person claims that I called them, which is simply not true.
Phil in Plymouth (tech) said that scammers mask their cold calls with a UK mobile number and tend to change there numbers they use every 3 weeks which should stop.
I would like EE and the telecomms industry to do something about this asap as my mobile number is linked to me directly. The people being called by scammers hiding behind my number are likely to be reporting my number as a source of nusance calls. I have also reported someone who called me asking why I called them, and in retrospect they were probably innocent also.
The inductry needs to get on top of number masking asap!
