Re: Receiving calls from people saying I called them, but I haven’t!

How come the start of the number it called is the same as mine though? It’s weird. Literally the first 7 numbers

That is because the scammers think it is more likely people will answer a call from an exchange they recognise than something random.  They change the digits to match the circumstances.

Used to happen to me a lot until I installed a call blocker, these are mostly pretty good at squashing the nonsense.

When it happened to you was the first 6-7 digits the same numbers in the same order as yours then? It was only the last 3 numbers that was different to mine.
