Telephone Scammers...spoofing numbers
Posted on 7/5/18 at 11:03 am
Posted on 7/5/18 at 11:03 am
Anyone else get those calls from a real person asking if you called them, when you didn't? In fact it was likely a telephone scammer who has spoofed your number and called the person but didn't leave a voicemail. I used to call back the numbers that called me..and I found that out, now if it's a number I don't know...I don't answer it and if they leave a VM, then I deal with it. I wonder why they are able to get away with spoofing numbers legally...or is it illegal and they just get away with it?

No, but I’ve gotten a call from myself before. They spoofed my number and called me.

It's pretty awful. At least 5 times a day I get spoof calls.
There's really nothing you can do besides end VoIP

I don't answer any number I don't know. Killed my land line about two weeks ago after 40 years of having it due to repeated BS calls all day long. 
So much for the "do not call list law".

I had this happen last week. Got a call and a “who this” text. Looked up the number and the guy lives in Gardere.

I don't answer unknown numbers that are similar to mine or out-of-state numbers. I usually will answer the phone if the first three numbers look like they're actually numbers people in my area actually use, like 984- or 234-.
Spoof calls have been getting more frequent, again. This shite seems to come in waves.

Yeah I get so many Louisiana spoof calls since I still have a 318 area code. frickers don’t know I’d be more inclined to answer if it was 214.

I've got pretty important information about your vehicles warranty

Yup, pretty sure I'm just going to start bitching out att for allowing this to happen. Maybe then they'll do something about it. It's their service being spoofed.

I had a pissed off old man call me and asked why I called him 5 times. Which I hadn't, I didn't even know him. I just thought he had misread the number.
Now it makes sense

I know, but I have att. Everyone should bitch out their carrier. Maybe they will do something.

Again that would require ending VoIP.
Edit for context:
quote:
Voice over Internet Protocol (also voice over IP, VoIP or IP telephony) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. The terms Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service specifically refer to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The steps and principles involved in originating VoIP telephone calls are similar to traditional digital telephony and involve signaling, channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signals, and encoding. Instead of being transmitted over a circuit-switched network, the digital information is packetized, and transmission occurs as IP packets over a packet-switched network. They transport media streams using special media delivery protocols that encode audio and video with audio codecs, and video codecs. Various codecs exist that optimize the media stream based on application requirements and network bandwidth; some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed speech, while others support high-fidelity stereo codecs. Some popular codecs include µ-law and a-law versions of G.711, G.722, an open source voice codec known as iLBC, a codec that uses only 8 kbit/s each way called G.729, and many others. Early providers of voice-over-IP services offered business models and technical solutions that mirrored the architecture of the legacy telephone network. Second-generation providers, such as Skype, built closed networks for private user bases, offering the benefit of free calls and convenience while potentially charging for access to other communication networks, such as the PSTN. This limited the freedom of users to mix-and-match third-party hardware and software. Third-generation providers, such as Google Talk, adopted the concept of federated VoIP—which is a departure from the architecture of the legacy networks.[1] These solutions typically allow dynamic interconnection between users on any two domains on the Internet when a user wishes to place a call. In addition to VoIP phones, VoIP is also available on many personal computers and other Internet access devices. Calls and SMS text messages may be sent over mobile data or Wi-Fi.[2]

Did you then go back to the text and read it properly as, "who dis?"

Of course. I was actually surprised it was spelled right

I get multiple calls per day from numbers with my area code, a 555 prefix, and different last four numbers. I’ve tried multiple apps to try to block any of these combos but all I’ve been able to do is block individual numbers, and I’m not about to enter 10,000 separate combos.
Anyone have any advice?

They would have to make an edit to VoIP / 802.11 Wifi standardization.
These spoof calls happen over the public internet, not the IMS Core.
