My husband has incoming calls on his phone that arefrom disconnected numbers. My research has found that there are definitely companies who do this, they have a system or use a service that uses "spoofed" numbers, so that they can fool you and fool your blocked numbers list.
As I understand it, if you have a more sophisticated phone that allows you to download apps, that a person can download an app that can allow them to use spoofed numbers, thus over riding phone blocking.
Is anyone here familiar with this? And does anyone have any idea how this could possibly be blocked, preferably without phone holder knowing it (again, on husband's phone)? The OW's number is blocked, but I suspect she is still calling this way. We do not have iphones, or the like. I am not sure what could be done on our end.
Thanks, if you can help.

Unfortunately I am familiar with spoofed calls. I don't think there is a way to block them. I am amazed that these calls are not illegal...they should be.

Thanks, if you can help. Kaybee, you are in a more vulnerable position than most over continued contact, because of the issue with the possible OC. You do need to discover whether they are in contact - perhaps by unexpectedly asking him to swap phones with you for a day - but you also need to stop this affair. A child, if there is one, will be a powerful draw for your H to leave you. Your children are at risk from an OC. Your H must not volunteer paternity, and if he stays in touch he is probably doing that, or will do that by the time of the birth. This is a very dangerous situation for you and your kids.
