Yesterday, I received a call identified as my wife-using her number-I answered and there was no response. My wife was at the doctor and being treated. I called her back and her voice message came on. The process just described occurred again and fearing problems I again called my wife. She eventually called back and said she never called me as she was being treated. I wonder if my experience was what you described-except for use of the wife’s phone number?
Either they’re using a number from your phone’s contact list to call you, or they are calling numbers from your wife’s contact list. The contact list on one of the two phones has been accessed.
This phone scam is no surprise, I get delivery failure notices in my email listing many addresses that have been spammed by someone identifying my address as the sender.
