[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] very strange

[Stan Rose]

I don't know of this is relevant but I have Verizon cell service and as
part of my profile I can specify what I want my Caller ID to show the
recipient. Perhaps, that only changes what a land line displays and yours
is set wrong. I don't know how it would be wrong unless it is showing the
name of the previous owner of that number and I also don't know if the
other carriers have a similar setting.

Just a wild guess.
