Fraudulent Spoofed Calling<\/em> is one of the most popular methods used by scammers to trick their targets into revealing their personal or sensitive information which they can use to steal money or perform other fraudulent activities. By using this method, scammers are able to change the caller ID to any number other than the actual number used for calling. So basically, scammers disguise the number they are calling from and the number that displays on the target\u2019s caller ID appears to be from a government agency or someone familiar like one of the contacts of the receiver. A simple example would be displaying \u2018911 emergency\u2019 or one\u2019s bank\u2019s phone number.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Spoofing<\/em> is a common example of spoofed calling where robocallers display a number similar to the receiver\u2019s caller ID. This is done to increase the chances that the target will answer the call.<\/p>\n
