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.
It happened to me as well, on my cell phone, a slew of times last summer. I turn all that techie stuff over to our son. He blocked my number on my phone. I think he had to set up a fictitious person, assign them my cell phone number, and then block that person, thereby blocking any calls from my number to my number... I think. Anyway, it worked.
