The problem with phone is bad VoIP verification. For a while, I tried to call back unknown numbers who had called me. A lot of them were just not assigned. But a less reputable telco company can still allow their customers to use it as the "from" field for a VoIP call. Otherwise, the solution would be very straightforward: Allow regular people to sue a given phone number for spam/fraud and then the government (who has that info anyway) will disclose the phone number's owner to the judge. But that only works if the "from" phone number cannot be as easily falsified.
- lencastre 3y agoWhy not just A number that is Not in the contacts will simply not ring your phone?
- styfle 3y agoThis works for me, but many people who run their own business expect calls from unknown numbers since they are potential customers. I’ve also had it backfire when my doctors office calls and they don’t use the same number that I called them from.
- cwmma 3y agoThe whole issue with spoofing is that the caller has no relation to the number they claim to be calling from, you can't "sue the number" because it's probably done unrelated 3rd party's number. The fcc bad been slow to act but stir/shaken should prevent this going forward.
