Spoofed Calls

Spoofed calls refer to telephone calls in which the caller's identity is disguised or altered so that it appears to be coming from a different number than the actual one. This is often done using technology that allows individuals to change the caller ID information transmitted during a call. Spoofing is frequently used for malicious purposes, such as phishing scams, telemarketing fraud, or identity theft, where the caller aims to deceive the recipient into providing sensitive information or taking dubious actions. While spoofed calls can sometimes be used for harmless humor or pranks, the practice raises significant security and privacy concerns as it can be exploited for a variety of illegal activities.
