Spoofed Phone Number
I just had a phone call come in on my landline. It showed up as a person's name and local phone number. I answered thinking it was one of my wife's friends. Instead was a recording that said if I wanted a lower interest rate on a credit card. I played along and spoke with a man with very heavy foreign accent - Indian, I guess. I asked for the person whose name showed on my caller ID - knowing already what happened. He hung up.
I then called the local Villages number that showed up on Caller ID and told the lady what happened and that her number had been spoofed. She knew nothing about the call, of course, but seemed very interested in hearing about spoofing.
Even with the "nomorobo" I use on my phone, some jerk finds new technology to get people to answer the phone.
Is there a special place in Hell that those telemarketers will have to listen to phone calls for eternity?
