Hi, On Saturday, I received an abusive text from a number I don't know. Also, in the last few days, I have had people who I don't know ringing me saying I have rang them with a missed call and it was definitely from my number but after checking my phone log, there is no record of me phoning the numbers who are calling me. I don't know what is going on. I am worried that it is something to do with track and trace as I have given my number to numerous cafes etc over the last month.
Can anybody help/advise me?

Scammers select numbers at random to use in their auto diallers to disguise who they are.
If they happen to pick your number, their calls will appear to come from you.
The only consolation is that they regularly change their number, but this practice makes them almost impossible to trace.
