I had a missed call on my mobile from an unknown mobile number (07...) As a very strange (and hopefully just coincidence) the number was almost identical to mine so that I actually thought it was my number at first glance. When I texted the number later it just said message failed try again. I tried texting from a different phone and the message also failed to send. Is this a scam call and a faked caller ID?

    Report it as spam and move on with your day.  And I'd suggest don't text numbers you don't recognise either.

    Definitely don't text numbers you don't know. If it's important - they'll call back.
