@Pooky1Haven't seen that, but I'm getting an increasing number of calls where the area code and the next 3 numbers are the same as those of someone I know.  Unless I see a name I recognize, I just wait to see  any message.

I have gotten emails from myself -  sure they were!

@Pooky1 

Oh yeah, many times!

Yes, I think we have all received calls like that.  If they don't show your number, they show the Town Hall number or the Library number.  Some local number that is publicily available.  Anything to get us to answer the call.  That's why those nuisance calls don't bother me at all.  They are always two steps ahead of the phone companies and the authorities.

Yes.

Yes. The calls were driving me nuts until a got a call blocker.The phone rings once and it's gone. If the number is already blocked it doesn't even ring.Today I have 18 calls that never rang but were blcked.

The original poster states the caller id is her own number.  Do you block you own number?  I have call blocker too but don't want to block my own number.

Yes and so have some of my friends.  Called my phone carrier and they said there is nothing they can do about it.  Its called spoofing.
