Creatons Using Phone Number Masking

[Newman]

When these phone solicitor A wholes use a local masked number, does it have to be a real number they use?

Can they self identify as any number they wish?

Can they use a real number, that may belong to a customer?

 

[FB19087]

yes


I was going to call you from your own phone number but I didn't want to have a conversation about it...............

 

[Cleanworks]

Just say no and hang up. There are no good deals coming over the phone. I know, I used to be a phone scammer, I mean, telemarketer.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

They can use YOUR number to call your neighbors.

 

[Old Coastie]

I enjoy those calls, they give me the chance to channel all y’all.

 

[Newman]

I add all 800 numbers to a blocked contact. I also added some from masked numbers.

So that is how a customers number wound up on my blocked list.

May the fleas of 1000 mangy coyotes infest the crotch of all who solicit on my line!

They are fooking relentless.

Making calls appear to be originating from a "local" number in relation to the destination number, as opposed to coming from an unfamiliar area code is obviously an advantage.

I think there are many different techniques being utilized.

I don't think most numbers are completely random in generation, because most can be called back and usualy lead somewhere.

They are likely pulled from an available number bank from a virtual provider.

It is very easy to appear as any number, but is really no benefit to it with there being so many virtual numbers available for "rent".
