The real crime in this story is that telcos still haven't stopped the ability to spoof caller ID. In a just world her phone provider would be liable for the stolen money, along with all the other stolen money as a result of spoofed caller ID. It is absolutely batshit insane that this is still an issue. Fucking fix it. Yes I am aware of STIR/SHAKEN, it should have been completed 20 years ago.

This is it. Everything else is a consequence of spoofed caller IDs.

And yes, I'm sure there are business reasons for wanting to pool a company's numbers under a main company line: but tough luck. There should be no way for this to happen. Make businesses find a way around it.
