I am receiving calls from my cell phone number, and it's baffling. Does anyone have an idea why? I answered one call but felt funny about it, so I called support and was told my calls were forwarded. Support said that they stopped the forwarding of my calls and not to answer the calls if I receive anymore. I was also told to check my Verizon when this happens and do a stop calls forward; I have no clue as to how to do this. Anyone else having this problem and if so, how can I prevent it?
More likely your number was spoofed.

It's certainly confusing when you get a call from your own phone number, KARSNE55. I'm happy to shed some light on this. Ann154 has a great suggestion as your number may have been spoofed. Here's more on the topic from the FCC: http://spr.ly/6589Df2FD Also, as you mentioned, it's also possible that call forwarding was turned on and then way to disable that is to call *73 from your phone. You will hear some beeps and then you can end the call. On certain phones you may get a prompt asking if you want to disable call forwarding which you would want to agree to. Does this response help clarify?

My phone called me a few times after the cl forwarding was supposed to have been stopped. I am not understanding how my number is spoofed. Hopefully I can prevent it if i figure out how to it happens.
Thank you, i just filed a complaint.
They say they're from Verizon and doing an upgrade to 5g in my area, and need my zip code and to inform me there will be a brief disruption of service.
