I agree with Patrick. Spoofing caller id is an invaluable tool for Private investigators, skip tracers and the police. More info: http//www.phonecalleridspoofing.com

So what’s the latest on this? Personally I find it slightly preposterous. I used to spoof on a semi-daily basis when I was a private investigator. Legally, you can be anyone you want as long as you aren’t impersonating law enforcement. Sometimes blocked numbers won’t do, some people have privacy director. I used to make spoof calls and have the ID display prefixes that didn’t exist. There should also be a difference between method and intent. I never intended to obtain sensitive information (I usually already had it). It was a tool used merely to confirm their presence. Spoofing to pretend to be an insurance or credit card company is obviously wrong. It falls under fraud, so why punish spoofing if it has legitimate uses?

I also have been the victim of spoofing. I’m not sure if this bill is correct. People using this type of service for legitimate reasons is one thing but, how can one determine the reason for someone using this service?

In order to keep people from being victimized, I think it best if this bill is passed. The question is, whill it be enforced? and, How?

I have to say I can’t stand this spoofing. Somebody has been spoofing using MY number…which has lead me to receive calls Day and Night all asking the same thing “did somebody just call me from this number?”

I hope this bill passes.

o and a second note to that. i have paid most of my debts off, and it had NOTHING to do with the phone calls or how many times they called me.
so dont respond to my comments by going that route. its simply a form of harassment by calling that much and hiding who you are / plain and simple

i think this is a great idea. some of us out there who have some debts we need to pay get bothered by collectors who seem to think that we have forgot and wont pay them. calling us 15 times a day and threatening us doesn’t make the money appear. so basically the phone calls themselves are a harassing bother. the caller id says unknown. or simply doesn’t show anything at all. i would welcome a change in the law saying they have to disclose who is calling so i can decide whether or not to answer. i give props to this law.

Im sorry for anyone harrassed by call spoofing but chances are those jerks will find another way to do such things! Many good people use this service to get their teen age kids to answer their cell phones and keep tabs on their kids. Soon gps tracking of your children will be illegal! Its a waste of time and money making such laws, i agree with what was said above the criminals will hide their ID’s and bother people via phone in new ways, while the innocent people using it for good reasons suffer!

Look at the big picture! Pluse with the war and all the other messes the government has to deal with, why is this such a concern? Is Bush getting fake phone calls from someone?
