I Don’t have tangible evidence, but it was conveyed to me that my cellular telephone number is being used for robocalls. What is the protocall in this occurrence of thievery? Is it considered major problem or is this the normal obstacles of living in a fallen digital world of spam and ripoffs? What information do I need to obtain?

Robocallers spoof local numbers so you are more likely to answer. I take it someone told you your number was being spoofed? Most originate outside the US so not sure how much you can do about it.
