Yeah becareful about 2. I have gotten at least 3 angry phone calls now from people I don't know telling me to stop calling them when it wasn't me :/

I once had a spam caller call with my own number spoofed. Awkward.

That's how you could get to voicemail with no pin. Phone companies had/have the crappiest security.

Did you post your number on Craigslist?

And did you then call yourself to say “go fuck yourself!”?

That's hilarious

Got another one today. I get 1 or 2 every month.

At this point I have developed a spiel for them. I apologize and let them know that I have not called anyone, but that some spammer likes to spoof my number on the regular and that I get one of these calls every few weeks. If they are still angry or say something about me needing to change my number, i mention 2 factor authentication and that it would take me literally years to break free of this number and even then there would be issues, so it just isn't worth it yet.
