Did you answer? It was probably Alexander Graham Bell.
What the hell, when did GameFAQs clear my signature and quote?

My personal favorite was the time I got a phone call from myself. Some scam dialer was spoofing numbers and apparently randomly identified my own number while calling the same number.

Unless it was a parallel universe version of me calling from another timeline, in which case I'm really sorry I didn't pick up now. I wonder what alternate me was trying to tell me...

It is in the US if you are doing it with the intent to deceive, but people are already using it to commit crimes so what is one more.

I've gotten that a few times. It would say +1. Likely just a spam technique

Yeah, that's like when people complain that the scam callers are ignoring the Do Not Call list, or imply that the Do Not Call list just doesn't work because the scam calls come through anyway.

It's like, no duh, the people who want to commit literal crimes and steal money from you are also going to ignore things like spoofing laws or the Do Not Call list. Especially when most of them are calling you from countries where they're pretty much immune to prosecution anyway.

How could you ignore a call from Smitty WerbenJagerManJensen?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

Probably trying to tell you not to advance the timer.

Manfred von Karma set his phone number to 1 because he's number one!
