Calls to my phone using my own number as caller ID

Just got a call to my home number using my own home number as the caller ID.  They did not leave a message - Gee...do you think it was a telemarketer calling to scam me?  Most likely but my wife wanted to answer it....so she did....got this is not a sales call so do not hang up....yeah..sure it is not a sales call....because it is a scam!

same weird thing-called my phone co.-said they seen a lot of this recently

We have an ongoing thread on it here:

But, but, this call was just so special and needed its very own forum thread! (note sarcasm)

Here's thread number 16 devoted to the unofficially named Mirror Spoof. The title of thread #15 was plainly visible on the first page of the Phishing/Scam section listing at the time Eric posted the new one. It was begun nine days ago and locked by Admin the next day as redundant, after I listed all the prior related threads.

Using MY name and phone number in caller ID

I understand that the phenomenon lacks a broadly accepted nickname to use as a search term. I get that the event can be startling to the unaware and disrupt rational thought. But we now have hundreds of posts on this issue spanning 7.5 months. There is no excuse for ignorance now. Please take five lousy minutes to search the site before slapping up another thread which tells a now familiar story.

Is it bad that I find it scary you know how many times there has been this type of thread off the top of your head?
