people are getting calls from my number that I didn't make.
What can I do to stop it? How can I find out who is doing it? How can find out who was "spam" called on my behalf?
Caller ID spoofing is a massive issue that probably will not be resolved in the near future. Most of these spoofing number calls come from international locations and more so, overseas.
In many cases, they just don't want their calls to be reported to the "Don't Call" police. They grab numbers at random. In some cases they could be more targeted, exploiting some security flaw to get your address book and call your friends, pretending to be you. Just like spamers like to get your e-mail address book to pretend to send e-mail's from you. (e.g. "Help, I was robbed in Timbuktu and....") In any case, there's nothing que can do to prevent someone from spoofing tus caller ID. The system's just too insecure. @terracotta333's advice helps prevent you receiving scam calls on your T-Mobile phone but does nothing to prevent someone from spoofing your caller ID.
