Robo-Call From My Own Phone

I did a couple searches before starting this topic, but 'robocall' and 'phone' got so many hits I couldn't sort through them all. It's a simple question:

I recently received a voicemail on one of my phone numbers that was a robocall. The information accompanying the voicemail indicated that the call originated from one of my other phone numbers. This is the 1st time I've seen this kind of obvious spoofing. Just wondering if anybody else has seen it?

I have had robocalls to my landline phone that show up on the display window as being from that very same number. Sometimes, it will even include my name! The bots can put any number or name they want. What most of them have in common is that they usually don't leave messages on the answering machine or voice mail.
