Thanks, Roger Lacy - It's certainly a fascinating concept, and would appear to be relatively cheap to install. It's sure worth a look. Hope the 'powers that be' take a look at it.

Gary Rose: Tips when seeing suspected fake phone numbers

In response to: Comments re article 93577 Reader asks how telemarketers are faking with local numbers
Click on headline for complete comment

By Gary Rose

As said by another reader it is done with software. My solution to telemarketers is very simple.

If the number is not in my contact list and the caller ID does not give a name I don't answer it.

When the caller is someone who really wants to get a hold of me they will leave a message on my voice mail. Telemarketers do not leave messages very often.

Telephone gives misleading number through 'spoofing' software

Greg Jones writes:
This is called "spoofing" and is the practice of causing the telephone network to indicate to the receiver of a call that the originator of the call is a station other than the true originating station. They do this through software that I don't care to mention nor will I post instructions on how they do it. I will say it is done through software that allows you to type a command and lets you pick what number the call comes from; this is done on internet phone service (VOIP). There are phone apps, both paid and free, that can sometimes tell you what the real number is and who is calling.

Spoofing is illegal and the FCC takes those complaints on their website. - Greg Jones
