In the last two hours, I have received five phone calls from phone numbers I don't know, recognize or have stored as contacts saying that they had a missed call from me. I didn't call any of them nor are they showing up in my call log as placed calls. I haven't placed a call since yesterday afternoon.
A. Has this happened to anyone else?
B. Have I been hacked?
C. I have turned my phone off...What are my next steps?

I got 1 call from a blocked number who hung up on me. No big deal (unless I get more)

The problem is that they are saying I called them today and they have a missed call from me and are calling me back when I didn't place any calls today. I didn't called any of these random numbers and my phone number is showing up on their call log as a missed call.

Obviously, if it were one call I wouldn't be concerned.

One of the problems with not answering "Blocked" calls is that they may be in your Contacts, but they are still going to show up as "Blocked" no matter what we do on our end. My brother's company cell phones are all blocked due to his line of work, despite his number being in my contacts it always shows up as BLOCKED.....:(:(:(

iPhone double checks programs and confirms you actually wanted to call a number before it's placed.

So it's probably not that. It's probably someone spoofing your number.

I would check into it. Someone could be using your number and charging it to your bill.
