Turned off iphone still rings

At my employment I have about 18 fellow employees that don't like me. One of them has apparently found an app that has the capability to make my iphone ring even when it is turned off. The ring is very short for a tenth or two of a second. It is just enough to wake me up. There is no phone number left in the recent phone phone call directory. I have tried blocking the people that I think are doing it. I have tried do not disturb and even turning the iphone OFF.

Do you have a solution to block this call? Can I get Law enforcement involved since I have a background clearance from the TSA, Transportation Security Administration?

iPhone 6s, 12

When you say you turn the phone off, do you hold the right side button until the screen displays Slide to Power Off, and you then do so? If you actually do that it is impossible for the phone to ring.

Nope. It's not happening. I'm going to guess you have it plugged it to power. The phone will power itself on if connected to power when it's turned off, or if it is turned off after you plug it in, it will power on when it reaches full charge.

That is the way I turn it off. I know that the FBI has the capability to turn on a turned off phone. Google "....cbs news sharyl attkisson lawsuit...." and this link will appear. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/technology/article225194355.html

RICHMOND, VA.

When Sharyl Attkisson first began hearing clicking sounds on her phone and her computers started turning on and off in the middle of the night, she thought it was a technical glitch that could be easily fixed.

Attkisson, then a longtime investigative reporter for CBS News, didn't suspect anything more until her sources in the intelligence community suggested that the government might be spying on her because of critical stories she had done.

Turning on a turned off phone is out there.
