Today, a little after 12, the phone rang. When I went to answer it, at the same time, glancing at my caller ID, I saw that I was being called my myself. I picked up the receiver, but I heard only a dial tone. I know that if you dial your own phone number, you will get a busy signal. Thinking that the local phone company was running tests, I called the Verizon repair service. Of course, it was my luck to get some ditzy little girl, who had never heard of that happening, and who said that there was no way that she could tell me whether tests were being run on my line in the field. But oh, was she more than willing to explain why I should consolidate Direct TV with Verizon. I told her I wasn't interested and in the same breath, good bye. If you're incapable of helping me, don't try to cover your ineptness by selling me something I don't want or need.
The same thing happened to my mother-in-law, last week, only there was a lady on the other line, trying to get her to invest in a business. It scared my 81-year old mother-in-law so badly because she thought she was being called by her late husband. I'm thinking that someone is spoofing our numbers for some reason. Anybody heard about similar occurrences?
