Call spoofing, which refers to the process of changing the caller ID to any number other than the actual calling number, is a tactic that has lately been on the rise.

I never answer any calls from numbers I either don't have listed as a contact or recently used.

Spineless nuisances! They call then hang up immediately.
Don't know or care who they are, but they'll never get a return call from me - even if they call until their grubby fingers bleed!

Number has been blocked - previous "payment-donation" solicitation.

No idea why I picked it up, not expecting a call from NSW. Picked it up and they immediately hung up. Seems other people had exact same problem. Do not pick up, very suspicious and dodgy number.
