This week I have received around 4 calls per day from mobile numbers that I do not know. What I call it back it says that the number is not recognized? How can they call me then? All the numbers are different. How can I stop this?

They are scam calls with spoofed numbers.

Hi Spike1,

 

I've been receiving the same sort of calls recently. It seems to have increased over the last few weeks.

 

What phone do you currently use?

 

With certain models of phones, you can silence unknown numbers so they are sent straight to voicemail and appear in your recent calls list.
