I just received a phone call on my cell phone, the caller ID was my own phone number. Was curious so I answered it, probably shouldn't have. I don't have a smart phone by the way. The robo voice said it was microsoft, that my windows license key was going to be deactivated because my IP address had been compromised from several different countries and they needed to set up a new IP address for me. I was then transferred to a person. Couldn't understand them so hung up. Is any of my information compromised, also concerned that the caller ID on my cell phone was my cell phone number?

2018-12-08T00:51:13+00:00 I have had a total of 17 calls today [counted them of my phone log] starting at 0600 w/my name and my phone number on my caller ID. it was "Suzy" from Microsoft w/the same recording as mention from 08/11/18, 09/11/18 posting. No way to stop w/nomorobo. Can't block your own number. Do I have to leave my landline unplugged to not receive these calls? Can ANYTHING be done to stop this??
