How can I stop callers from using my name and phone number

Hi country guy, that sounds like caller id spoofing. Scammers posing as familiar businesses or even as your own phone number. We can't stop them because the caller id system can't tell the difference from an authentic call or a spoofed one.

Somethings to keep in mind if you did not initiate the call:
1) Hang up. Do not press any keys even if directed to do so.
2) Do not give out or confirm any financial or personal information.
3) Register with the National Do Not Call Registry: 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register, or online at www.donotcall.gov

We have phone features that may help you address some phone issues: http://bit.ly/1Anl71A

I hope this information is helpful!

There was a recent newspaper article saying that 200,000 people have sent requests to the US Congress to stop the telephone scammers and spammers.  

I got my first call from "my number" a few months ago. It hasn't happened since.  I admit that it was a nice trick..... of course i want to see who is calling from my phone..... but i hit Answer-HangUp as fast as possible.  They didn't call back.
