Are you experiencing this as well?
I received a call the other day from a man who asked if I had called him. I had not. He said the call was from my number and showed my name as the caller. The call was a Social Security scam call saying his Social Security number had been compromised and asking for personal information. I called my carrier, T-Mobile, but they said that since the call had not originated on their system there was nothing they could do. It's getting scary out there.
