Spam calls made to other Verizon Customers from my phone number - How is this possible?

Has anyone had someone call saying that your phone number just called them?

The Verizon customer I just spoke with  said my number called her just now, 2/17/2023 at about 3pm eastern time. She did not answer, but thought she would call them back. She called me, as my number was listed in her call list.  We spoke for about 5 minutes, and decided that I would report to Verizon this issue. Somehow, this is within Verizon I think, they have my number, and somehow post it and other Verizon customers can view the incoming call info without it showing as SPAM.  I have not called out on my phone for 2 days, my call log supports this information.

Could this be a data breach not reported to us?

I have also had calls come in with Peoples names, and it is some Hotel offer...

I cannot find out where to report this, with all the data so they can launch an investigation.

Any info or fix would be great to know and implement.

Sounds like your number was spoofed.
