So for the last 2 months I have been receiving between 0-5 calls a day from various people saying I have called them about something to do with immigration/called them and left a missed call.
I, obviously, have not called them.
My account is secure. My device is secure. This only started after getting an eSim earlier this year. I assume someone is manipulating caller ID and making it look like my number (or so says Google).
Questions:
1) How do I stop it? Customer service basically said they cannot stop it, so do I just tolerate this forever?
2) Because a lookalike of my number is being used to scam people, does that mean my actual number will get flagged and banned/blocked/locked/idk the word? This number is also comething I use for my business and changing it would mean losing a LOT of customers.
So tired of this now... Thanks for the help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

It's very unusual for a number to be used in this way for that long, but it is a known issue that OFCOM are investigating.
Unfortunately, nothing can be done currently.
