Two stories about this -

Once in 2014, I got a spam call that spoofed my own number.

This week, I got a spam call that spoofed the number of a family member.

Don't block without being sure.



For the past few years the odd spam call I get has been my number with one digit changed. This came as a surprise when my ex-wife's phone number popped up. I didn't realize it was spam until I listened to the voicemail re: the cruise I won.
