Voice-scamming site “iSpoof” seized, 100s arrested in massive crackdown
These days, most of us have telephones that display the number that’s calling before we answer. This “feature” actually goes right back to the 1960s, and it’s known in North American English as Caller ID, although it doesn’t actually identify the caller, just the caller’s number.
Woman who gave name as Amanda with an accent called. Said she was from Telstra & that they had received a number of notifications from my IP address over the last few days.
I said that's funny as I don't have internet at home.
She immediately hung up.
