People receiving calls from my number I've not dialed/called
Just to add I have never experienced this on any other network, such as, ee,, giff gaff, three, Virginia.
Sounds like fraudsters / scammers have spoofed your number and called these people, DarrenP_2500004.
OFCOM have more about this online at:

Why is it that I've only experienced this since coming to Smarty?
Is this a security issue with smarty systems or are they randomly spoofed by bots somehow.
Just curious as I've never had this before?
I'd suspect fraudsters / scammers choose numbers randomly, DarrenP_2500004.
DarrenP_2500004 Pure chance?
Have you perhaps given your number to someone/a company who may have let the scammers have it (for a consideration)? What about if you are in someone else's contact list and their phone has been hacked - it certainly happens a lot with email addresses.
