Default spoofing

I received a two different calls several weeks back. One call was identified as Verizon and the other caller id had a Villagers name and number. Both calls were for a credit card service. I called The Villagers number and spoke with a very nice gentlemen (listed in TV phonebook) who had no idea this was happening. He could easily have hung up on me since he had no idea who I was!

I called both Verizon and Century Link (phone service provider for the Villager and myself) but didn't report to the Sheriff.

I think you may have done a disservice to the Villager by listing his name and number. He may be the innocent subject of spoofing. Just MHO!
