Number Spoofing Increases

hitmusic — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 17:21:45 GMT

I've had an increase in number spoofing at the moment.

I've had around 4 calls from random people, saying they are returning my call because they've had a missed call from me. Even an angry individual that wouldn't believe me when I said I had not called them and it's probably a scam call using a random number which happened to be mine.

Three, other network providers really need to start working together now to try and stop this from happening as I've been a victim of this before and now it's happening again and it's not nice when a random angry man calls you saying you've called them and doesn't even know what 'Number Spoofing' is.

Maybe Three should run an awareness campaign?

I absolutely don’t disagree with anything you write but just to say that Three have sent me texts on quite a number of occasions this year warning me about threats. I like to think I’m reasonably savvy and haven’t had any issues but perhaps I’ve just been lucky.

Hey hitmusic,

Welcome to the Three Community!

We can totally understand the increased spoofing isn't great. We do have a dedicated page for Fraud - What to look out for this gives our customers a range of ways to report this and things to keep an eye on.
