Default A new scam

with CID spoofing. A number that used to indicate the Phoenix AZ
area now could come from anywhere.


voip or clid spoofing doesn't change anything.


Current spoofing tactics have changed things for me.

With the physical blocker:

Most of my spam calls USED TO come from specific OUTSIDE area codes and
since I didn't expect calls from any of them, blocking the whole area
code worked. Now many of my spam calls are munged to MY AREA CODE and
obviously blocking my own area code won't fly. And blocking individual
numbers as they come in is pretty useless since they continuously change
numbers.

Update on the online blocker NoMoRoBo:

In the one day I've had it I've had 2 spam calls. They both rang the
phone once and quit. The CID said one was from a local area code
and the other not. Score = %100. So far...
