Normally I do not answer the phone if the Caller ID shows a number I do not recognize but my own number?
It must be illegal for a company to spoof your own number but since they do not say who they are specifically, who can you complain to?
Has this happened to anyone else?

I never pick up the phone unless the call is from my only surviving sibling. My ex employer knew I would return any calls that might concern work. So even if I got a call from my own number I would know something is wrong with the call. I have been googling a lot of calls that have been routed through India even though they show a local number. In the job market there are jobs listed as Customer Service dealing with health care and other at home schemes that just use your number and have you deal with people. Bottom line they are all scams. We just got warnings about the IRS never calling about tax problems as they will do it through the mail.
