Scam appears to be using my phone number

AndrewO2380 — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 08:36:08 GMT

Hey,

I'm getting a handful of calls from people saying they had missed calls from me when I haven't made the calls. One person managed to answer and they said it was a revolut scam.I asked 48 for a call log early last week but still haven't received anything. Any ideas on what I can do here to stop them using my number?

See the many previous posts about this issue which happens on all networks and not just 48:

Follow the ComReg advice on dealing with such calls:

Until ComReg introduce regulations requiring phone companies to take steps to prevent this there's very little that individual users can do to prevent their number being spoofed.
