Well, I learned a new term last week - spoofing. A process where someone downloads an app that allows them to to send another number as their caller ID when they made calls. Their own number is hidden and the 'fake' number is displayed on the phone of the person being called.
It has happened to me. Today alone I have received three calls from nice people returning a call that showed up on their caller ID.
According to Verizon it is not illegal and there is no way to trace who is doing it. I have only two options, change my number (which seems useless and a bother. It's my business number and, if it is someone trying to make my life miserable, they will just adopt my new number), or wait them out hoping that they will decide to target someone else.
Ever happen to you? What did you do?
