(10,279 posts)my landline tel number into his auto dialer as the fake originating caller. Within a day, I as getting about 1 call/min from people asking me why I had called them. They were small business people who can't afford to miss a potential client.
I had to silence my landline and rely 100% on my cell phone. In about a month, the asshole decided to stop spoofing my number. Probably replaced me with another person who liked to play with him.
Seriously, you don't want your number on their auto dialers. Just don't engage and terminate their call. You may be interested to know that their auto dialer selects numbers to call by -- no surprise -- an automatic selection computer program. Usually the area code (the leading 3 numbers) and the prefix (the next 3 numbers) are specified by the asshole. The line number (last 4 numbers) are random within the group, which includes the number that is being spoofed. That makes the spoofed number look like one of your neighbors. Sometimes, the auto dialer calls the tel number being spoofed. That is how you get "called" by your self.
