My phone is calling itself.
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.

answer it, tell them you're not there...

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...



Endeavor to persevere.

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.
