And this is exactly why they continue to get away with this kind of fraud, the 
government is selective on who they will let report it. If you’re a person 
called and try to file a report they throw another obstacle in the way.

Subject: [WISPA] Anyone ever had your phone number spoofed?

 

Yesterday we started receiving a large number of calls saying that we were 
calling them and they got disconnected or talked to someone who tried to scam 
them (yesterdays's scam was a government grant sent to their nearest western 
union).

We called our provider (RingCentral) and they said our phone number had been 
spoofed. 

Anyone ever had their number spoofed? How long did it last? Did you have to 
change your phone number? 

This is the second day in a row. We changed our voice mail letting people know 
and asking them to call the FCC - we called the FCC yesterday and reported it, 
but they need the people receiving the calls to call and complain.

any thoughts appreciated.

Martha
