Getting calls from people saying I called them - but didn’t

Rj221 · ‎30-10-2025

I’ve been called by 2 different people recently saying they had a missed call from me. These were not scammers, just people saying something like “Hi it’s Derek, I just had a call from you”. I have also been receiving frequent calls from UK mobile numbers where they instantly hang up. Is someone spoofing my number?

Any help appreciated.

Yes, probably to hide their id while scamming others. The Number Spoofing Scam - Ofcom explains what could be causing this. It usually dies down after a short time, but if you feel like you need to, you can change your number through our Customer Support team.
