Just got the same air duct cleaning spammers, but different caller ID number: CALIFORNIA CALL at 415-319-4760 on Sat Feb 22.

Please block 415-319-4760.

Question for Sonic folks -- are these numbers even reliable enough to block?

And could someone do a DDOS by using an innocent party's number, getting it blocked?

Smarter caller-id spoofing
"Luck, Tony" <[email protected]>
Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:20:35 +0000

My cell phone just rang with caller-id announcing that it was my teenage daughter. I answered in a rush because being a typical teenager she would rather use any other method of communication rather than a voice call - so I figured it must be urgent.

It wasn't. It wasn't even her. It was the "Card Holder Services" spammers saying they wanted to reduce my interest rates.

But the question is - How did they decide spoof her number when calling me? ...
... However they did it - the value of caller-id when deciding whether to take a call just hit zero.

876-837-8912 "Carlton JM"

Trinidadian accent, maybe, said my wife.

Aha, 'oogled:


"876 area code.
This is not a toll free "800" number, it is the international long distance code for the island nation of Jamaica."


Male caller, loud voice, pushy:

"This is the UPS, we are calling to verify the GPS coordinates, the truck is five minutes away, to deliver a certified check, what is your address?"

He hung up after my wife challenged him saying this sounds like a scam, UPS has never had to call for help finding the house.

another scam and app for that I happened on looking up the above:
