Question

Someone called me saying they missed a call from me when I never called

I was wondering what would cause this to happen…

 

I received a call from someone that showed the same area code I have my phone from and the first three digits of our phone number was the same for location. Lady advised who I was. I only gave my first name. She said she was returning a call from this phone number that showed missed call from. I checked my phone logs and my phone never called out to that number. I am wondering how my phone number could show up on someone’s phone when I never made it. 

 

This is first time I came across this when I have been a Kudo customer.

I also never recognized the number either (the last 4 digits that is as my phone is in a different province I got the number in over 4 years ago and moved twice since ><

Spam callers spoof their numbers.  This is normal for spam callers to do this so people are more likely to take their calls.  They just go through a list of numbers so you are not at risk here.

Unfortunately the only option is to just wait and have the spam callers move onto a different number

ok I was worried my account was compromised or something. After I posted message someone mentioned spoofing word which I wasn’t clear on the definition.

Yeah spoofing is when someone is faking their number.

This is fairly normal and not a cause for concern
