Say what?!

Are you saying that your phone rang, with your own phone number and made up name (or just name)...showing?

This is pretty spooky and I can't imagine what someone is planning on doing with it (In fact, I didn't even know this could be done)...but it can't be for anything but nefarious purposes.

Good luck.
