Does anyone know where this would come from? Someone said I called them and I had caller ID turned off and somehow they still have my number. Trying to decide if it’s made up or not. Because it doesn’t look anything like my iPhone screenshot from recents.

Looks like the usual number spoofing from a scammer or auto warranty robo calls just spoofing your number.

That screenshot looks like they have there font settings changed which is why it looks different


Whatever settings you have won't affect anyone from spoofing your number.

Even the setup doesn’t look the same though. The top part where the message, call, video and pay is..to me only the bottom looks the same.
 
So do the new iPhones not block no caller ID? Because I had my caller ID off when I called and somehow they have my number.

Depends what you mean by caller ID. Turning Caller ID off and blocking number are two different things.

No caller ID means as it sounds it won’t show your name when calling. Blocking your number like *67 for example will not show your number.

I went into settings and turned my caller ID off. So I’m confused how she has my number.
