What is “neighbor spoofing?”
It’s 2 spam companies using numbers similar to yours or your contacts.
Example: Your number
555-801-1200
Spam incoming “spoof” number:
555-801-2200
More than half of all cell calls are now spam robots trying to trick you.
What can you do?
*No apps really work for this, so save your $. I tried 2 of them to no avail.
*Having your number on National “Do Not Call” list does not help.
*Turn your ringer button to “off” (iphone, L side, top button-push it away from you or “down”)
*Stop answering your phone
(unless it is a KNOWN contact. If you miss it, don’t panic. You can call that person back).
*You will get fake voicemails too. Just delete them
