FaceTime call from my number wasn’t me
Hi everyone! I’m coming for any sort of explanation because I am a bit
freaked out. In short, I facetime called my partner at 10:31 pm last
night and he did not answer the phone. I then went to bed. At 1:36 am I
received a facetime call from my partner asking if I was okay. At 1:35
he accepted a FaceTime call that came from my contact and it was 31
seconds of heavy breathing and no image on the other line. My call log
has no history of an outgoing call, no one is currently home, and there
is no possible way this call came from my phone- but it did come from my
number. The first thing I did was change my Apple password but there was
no record of me being logged in on a device that isn’t mine. He did not
receive my call at 10:31 but that doesn’t explain the breathing or a
call popping up later.

|I assume your partner's phone still shows the call in their log and it
|definitely is your contact? e.g. if they go to the call and call it
|back does your phone ring etc? I'm assuming so since they called you
|back, but just curious. Any chance you have a phone/other device that
|is missing/lost/stolen? Phone spoofing is definitely a possibility and
|it would likely be someone who knows both of you for them to spoof your
|partner from your number in particular.

|The call in his history is 100% from my contact. The first thing I
|had him do was show me his call log. I had a couple of old laptops
|and a phone that were once mine, but I haven’t had them in years and
|none of them were in my logged in devices when I went to change my
|password. I didn’t realize someone could spoof using facetime, we
|also have a very limited number of people who would have both of our
|phone numbers saved, and I doubt there is anyone with weird
|intentions, so this is all just very uncomfortable. We have also been
|dating for years and this is the first time this has happened as far
|as I am aware.

|That's why I didn't just ask if you're in his call log, I also
|asked if he clicks on it/calls it back if it actually rings your
|phone. I'm assuming so, because I think even with spoofing it
|would, but it's a T to cross.

|Not just the name, the number too?

|Yes!

|Are there other numbers or email addresses associated with your
|name in his address book? It feels like a prank where someone
|will add a contact with your name but their details and then
|prank call. Make sure to check his full address book, don’t
|just go through the FaceTime app.

|No, there are not. My phone number is registered to send
|outgoing facetime calls, and my email is not. He has both my
|phone number and email in my contact but nothing else

|Could it be the record video option after someone doesn’t pick up a
|FaceTime call? Maybe you accidentally recorded a video message when
|they didn’t pick up?

|If only! I actually leave him facetime video messages often, but this
|time I did not. Furthermore, it wouldn’t explain the call ringing,
|waking him up, and staying connected once he answered

|Number spoofing. r/Scams if you want to read up on it.

|Spoofing wouldn’t explain a FaceTime call. The calling device would
|need to be logged into OPs Apple account, can’t do a FaceTime call by
|spoofing alone.

|My number is associated with facetime, but I also didn’t think you
|could spoof with facetime. And as someone else mentioned, if it is
|spoofing, it would have to be someone I know personally, as they
|know that my partner would pick up my call in the middle of the
|night, and they would have to know his number.
