When your phone number is spoofed, it really is a pain...
Found out today my phone number was spoofed. People calling/texting me in response to call or text someone made, but not me. I didn't even know such a thing happened! Only recourse is change phone number. Years of contacts to notify... sigh
Yooo the same thing happened to me. WTF did we get on that takes your number like that????
I found out that AT&T has had a lot of this spoofing going on in the Nashville area code area (615). My cell phone (and only phone) had a 615 area code. Makes me wonder if it was done by someone inside AT&T. Surely you have to have the technology to do this. But I also had one part of my website where my phone number shows. Taking number off business cards, brochures, website, etc. now. I now know why I don't see many websites with phone numbers on them nowadays. But I really don't know how or why I was "picked". Makes 2 Factor authorization a pain when number is changed....
