Didn’t open article but I do know that number spoofing appears to be possible now.
For the last 6 months or so, most spam calls that I get come from numbers in the same area code and prefix as mine. The spammers use this spoofing technique to get you to think it’s a local call and you’ll be more likely to answer. If you try to call that number, you’ll get someone else (not the spammer/solicitor).
I agree with this. Lately that last few calls like that are from my area code and prefix. So was this caller who appears to be a real person.
After I returned one of the spammer calls and discovered what it was, now I just block the number.
Same here. If I don’t recognize a number I never answer. If it’s so important they’ll leave a message.
The article went to an Apple site. Nothing to do with weird calls.
psst, it’s a vanity. The article is post #1
