I tried to find answers online but cant find any!

 

For the past couple days my phone has sent me a

 

text from my own number. The text says Page From.

 

That is all it says. 

 

I have no idea how this happens or why.  Have you

 

had this happen ?

Yes, my mother received a spam call from her own number. Spammers can spoof telephone numbers, including your own.

 

If you do a search on "spam calls from your own phone number" you will find a ton of responses.

Re: Texts from my own number

This happened to me and I thought it was discussed on this forum but I wasn't able to find the thread.


I can't remember what the cause was.  It's been a few years since it happened and it only happened once.

It happened to me about a year ago.  I got two of them and immediately deleted without opening.

Re: Texts from my own number

I know, this is crazy.  Report it as spam. Yesterday I got an email from my own email address!  Ugh. I marked it as spam, that's the best answer I could find online

Re: Texts from my own number

I delete most texts without opening them as I can see enough to know its spam.  Swipe to the left and hit the trash can.

 

The cruelest emails I get are ones from my husband.  He passed away last September.  While I know those are garbage emails and I do not open them, they always send me into a tailspin.
