My phone has called itself 7 times this morning. Last one a couple of minutes ago. The scammers must be excited. What should I do to stop this? Notify my carrier? Since I am retiring in a couple of months, maybe I should start getting off the grid and chuck it.

It's you from the future, calling to warn yourself not to eat that leftover potato salad...


But seriously, it's robo calls / spammers thinking maybe you are more likely to answer it than if it displayed "unknown caller or etc. BBB was warning of this scam 4 or 5 years ago.

Can you block your own number? I have no idea...

Let it go to voicemail, and hear what you say.

I finally blocked my own number when the calls numbered over 15. Contacted Verizon and was told this was a known problem with all service carriers. Only suggestion was to change my number. Thanks for the laughs. It made my day.

My house phone has called itself a couple of times but it's been over a year since the last time.
