I made a PayPal payment on public WiFi and that's linked to my number but that's the only days insecure thing that's happened to my phone recently. Should I be spooked? Are the identity thrives out to get me?

>using public WiFi when the shadow brokers just released UNITEDRAKE

that pic has been jpeg'd out of orbit

So did you call the guy or not

you're phone is part of a botnet

No, he called me

>answering random calls
>confirming the number does indeed belong to the person they think

It was in my area code and I don't have many contacts so I thought it could be a work buddy calling in to ask me if I could cover a shift or something.

probably all the google botnet apps you have downloaded that you mindlessly told could use your phone to make and receive calls .

Ty for useful info user

>he feel for the phone number spoofing meme

... then who was phone?

Can you provide more information about your post?

Kek. Thanks user

>call terminates in Lagos, Nigeria
>Mbele owns it as a premium line
>user's just dialed an international premium number
Bitcoin not mooing fast enough to pay that bill, user

This story is very confusing to follow. Do you know the guy that called you?

Spam callers have been spoofing calls with other people's numbers. Did the caller's number start with the same 6 digits as yours?

>mfw got a call from my own number the other day

Unironically, this. You done goofed, OP.

>get a call one time
>say hello?
>no one answers

>be silent and caller doesn't say anything
never picked up random phone calls since

Same here. It was my Google voice number, though.

>call from the nigerian prince

This is the "Yes" scam

What the fug, this happens to me all the time. I thought it was just because I had a reused number.

I don't understand. Why do they need a recording to you saying "yes"? Why can't they just say it themselves?

Some security systems use voice recognition. Some banks were ringing you up and saying "Did you just ask try to buy a $400 thing? Please say 'Yes' to authorise, or 'No' to refuse this purchase"

>>"hey who is this?"
>"um.... This is user. Who's this?"

correct answer when some rando calls and asks "who is this?" is: "who is ASKING?" or alternatively "who the fuck are YOU?"

The phone permission is also used to get access to the IMEI, often used to identify devices.

thats what the botnet wants you to think.

They're constantly calling the line phone, i think it's just call centers double checking their info but my mum answers anyways.
Call centers won't call asking to do polls anymore though since i scared them away every time they tried to make my mom lose time doing them.

this exact thing happened to someone i know twice on an iPhone 5s.

companies don't need a fuckin botnet to make robo calls you objective retard

he didn't receive a robo call you objective retard
