Been receiving a number of calls to my mobile from people alleging that I've called them and they missed my call. Only I have access to my phone and I know 100% I have not called these people.

I am assuming that my mobile number has been spoofed by some kind of scammer, as the callers who ring me seem genuine and never ask for any bank details, or similar, they just state that they missed a call from me.

Due to the nature of my work I often get calls from people who haven't called me before (no, I'm not a male escort :p) so I can't just not answer numbers that I don't recognise.

Is it, as I suspect, someone having spoofed my number, or something else perhaps?

The only thing I can't make sense of is if someone rings me, and I miss the call, if they don't leave a message I'd not call them back. Why are these people ringing me, am I missing something?
