An app you can use to disguise your real phone number. Similar to Google Voice, it basically gives you an alternate phone number. No, I'm not a criminal; I just like reserving my personal phone number for friends/family/bills, and using an alternative for everything else.

That sounds almost illegal

Dont mind those calls you are getting, they are definitely not from the FBI

Eh, I knew getting serious/informed answers here would be a long shot. Thankfully, a little more personal research has led me to realize that apparently, this is an increasingly popular scam called "spoofing" and happens to a lot of people.
