More should be done to standardize VOIP tracking. It's a huge problem and this method is widely used for scams.
I don't know if caller id spoofing can be prevented though. I get on average 10 scam calls daily, some days more. My phone is on vibrate and am using this as a way to relax instead of geting upset. I stand up from my desk and take a walk around the office. It mostly doesn't bother me but sometimes when it catches me at the wrong time it does get to me and Id rather this stopped. Sure, my phone does give me the 'Scam likely' but I wouldn't pick up from phone numbers that are not in my address book anyway. And I if phone vibrates I check after I finish what I currently doing so it could always wait.
What bothers me is the ease with witch someone on the other side of the planet can do this. This thought only bothers me...
- Scoundreller 7y agoNeighbourhood spoofing is definitely a problem because I have on-call and it means it could be a known or unknown colleague (big org). Then there’s the time the scammers called every number sequentially (or simultaneously?) in a number block, jamming the incoming/outgoing lines because we have an exchange code block, but only a reasonable number of lines.
