  I have been getting phone calls that show my number and my name on both my Samsung and my landline, neither of which I answer.
  Any suggestions as to why this could be happening?

  It sounds like someone is spoofing your phone number. These are usually scam calls and it is recommended you do not pick them up.
  
  You can find a few write-ups on this here:

  Hope that helps!
