Phone Display Help

[great bear]

Lads, need some help here. Someone is calling my business phone and the call display shows my own business phone number. Anyone have any knowledge of how this is done and by who? tks GB

Telemarketers. Most likely overseas, since Canada has rules regarding spoofing caller ID.

Got the same thing on my home phone,...I didn't answer because it was an obvious scam.

I get those calls also, the number calling looks similar to my number with the last 4 digits being different some. Expect people are more likely to answer a call from a number that looks local, or at least familiar.

In the phone sex industry this would be referred to as masturbation.

No, "BELL" refers to getting it SHOVED UP YOUR ASS!

That was Blackrocks specialty.

That was Blackrocks specialty.

IIRC Blackrock's specialty was explaining why, when a bad cop shoved it up your ass, that your response should be "Thank you for protecting me!"

Have you checked the children?

I freaked out one day when I was home alone and I got a call on my cell from my home. I searched the house (carrying a baseball bat) but found no one.

It turns out that there is/was an app on the iPhone and an SP I was friendly with used it to pull a prank on me.

Like I said, until she told me, I was very spooked.
