My mom received a call and the caller I.D. listed my name so she was confused because I was sitting across from her. I told her I was not calling. She answered anyway and was asked for me by name. She identified herself as my mother and was going to hand the phone to me, but I told her not to give them any information and to ask who they were since they had still not identified themselves or the purpose of their call. They said UH. I told her I was not going to answer their call and told her to tell them not to call again. I had her block the number afterwards. Using the name of the person you are trying to call as your caller I.D. to confuse, scare, and/or trick people into answering is deceptive/scammy. Businesses, organizations, institutions, etc. should always identify themselves and the purpose of their call at the start of the call without being prompted.
