Have you checked your outgoing calls? Occasionally I will receive a call from someone who unknowingly dials the phone(butt dialing).

I was waiting for them to ask me for my social security number or something like that but they didn't they sounded genuine.One of them claimed they were calling the police because the person who called from my number claimed to be from the sheriffs department (!!!????) really creepy.

There are apps that can make it appear as if your phone is the source of a call placed by another phone. Google prank call app and you will learn how this works.

smlrsmn,

I am so sorry to hear about these phantom calls. Lets dive deeper. How may different numbers are your getting calls from stating you have called them? How long has this been happening? This could very well be someone spoofing your number. Please private message me so we can investigate further.
